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)

Homework 3/14-3/25

I gave the students a math packet for homework this week. I wrote that it was due on Monday, March 21. However! After looking at the quantity of work I put in the packet, I have changed the due date to Friday, March 25.

Homework 3/7-3/13

Unfortunately, I have been sick this week and unable to get any homework together for the students. So, no math homework this week.

Venom Player Reads to the Eagles Math Group

Click on the link to watch one of the Wenatchee Venom players read to the Eagles Math Group in Mrs. Jagla's classroom. He did a great job and the students loved having him visit our room.

Don't forget, Saturday, March 5th, is Lewis and Clark night at the Wenatchee Venom football game: at the Town Toyota Center.

Watch our chants

I am placing links to our multiplication chants in the left-hand column.

What's happening in math now:

We are just completing our work with fractions, for the time being, and will begin division this week. We have been talking about division all year; how it's related to multiplication and fractions. The students will be learning what to do with those silly remainders, too.

Parent-Teacher Conference

Don't forget...school gets out at 11:45, March 2, for Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences.

Homework 2/28-3/4

There will be no math homework this week. Many students have turned in late homework and I need time to correct those in addition to my normal correcting. We have been working very hard, and I think, the students and I both deserve a break!
