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 9/26-9/30

There is no homework this week because we are learning new skills in math and I will not be at school Wednesday through Friday because I am in Kansas, Mo., working on math for the state of Washington.

Students in each group received a progress report or Tuesday or Wednesday. They need to be signed and returned to school the next day.

Thanks for your understanding.
