I'm happy to report that we have earned our second reward for following the Core Values! We have not had a chance to vote on our reward, but I will keep you posted. Lounge Day was a success. The students were able to maintain their focus while enjoying a relaxing day.
This week's agenda is full, as usual. In math, we will be working on the addition and subtraction of whole numbers. This builds upon 3rd grade skills, so I anticipate that students will be successful on this indicator. If you are interested in how you can help in math, the best thing you can do right now is to work on multiplication facts with your child. Knowing their facts will lead to a successful 4th grade math year.
We are a little more than half way through our first novel. Students have learned about the different types of questions they might ask. Today we will finish up a lesson on summarizing. Then we will pull all of the Fab 4 strategies (predicting, clarifying, questioning, and summarizing) together. Later in the week, we will focus on our characters.
We will also be celebrating Fire Prevention Week. On Tuesday, Portage firefighters will be here to talk with us about how to be safe. It will be very informative, as always!
Have a great week!
