Dear Families,
This fourth grade group of kids know the meaning of perseverance, and hard work that pays off. This week, my students have started completing the iReady assessments, and although some of them are still working on it, many of them are showing improvement and growth. But that is not the only thing we have been working on. Here are a few other highlights:
In math, we have completed the unit on fractions and decimals and started learning to use the standard algorithm for subtraction.
In Language Arts, we have continued identifying the setting of a story, and understanding how different settings influence the choices of the characters. We have continued working on making full open responses to reading comprehension questions with more independence, and we have completed our Trickster Tales lessons that we are now in the slow editing process.
Last week our students also worked with Mrs. Pilkington’s and Mrs. Smith’s Kindergarten students on a geometry craft activity, remaking a square into other shapes, and students have continued making progress in the different online platforms, XTra Math, ST Math and iReady.
The learning continues even in short weeks!
Have a fantastic weekend!
