Quote: Every book is a time machine, a flying carpet, a passport to the most powerful nation in the world...your imagi-nation! ~Mike Thaler (The Book Report from the Black Lagoon)
In school, 4th graders typically face new challenges and expectations. For example, 4th graders are expected to have made the shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." ~Mike Anderson (Educational Leadership: Vol. 68, issue 7)

Chanting our Multiplication Facts
I have collected almost all of the permission slips to place our chanting videos on the Internet. I will let you know as soon as they are up. I know the students are very excited about it!
Homework 2/22-2/27
Reading:
Last week we began our new reading at home logs. Students will still need to read for at least 30 minutes five times a week, to earn a level 3; however, they will also need to answer a question about their reading. For students in the Dual Language program, Monday and Wednesday's reading homework should be written in Spanish. Monday's reading should be a book of their choice, A.R., at their Spanish reading level.
Math:
Students received a math packet again this week. It includes basic math fluency practice for addition, subtraction, multiplication and working with fractions.
