Welcome Back!
We had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays! We would like to thank all the parents who organized and worked so hard to make our holiday party a success!
NWEA reports and MSTEP reports
This Friday your child will bring home a copy of their fourth grade winter NWEA test results and a copy of their MSTEP test results from third grade. Please take the time to review these results and keep in mind that these are just one tool that educators use to assess your children and their learning growth. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me or discuss the results at our next parent/teacher conference.
Our classroom is very excited about reading! Each week, many students finish reading books and share their recommendations and thoughts about the book with their peers through Book Talks.
MATH - Long Division
We have completed our current study of long division this week. Many students are using standard algorithm to solve division problems with and without remainders. This has been a challenging concept for many of us, but we have been determined learners. We will continue to practice this skill throughout the year until we have mastered this concept. We will begin our new unit over tables and line graphs this Friday!
Reading
We have been working hard on developing good habits and using strategies to read nonfiction texts. Students will begin a group nonfiction reading project next week researching a weather topic and teaching their peers about the information they have learned.
We are in need of items for our classroom basket for the school carnival. Our theme is "Traverse City". If you would like to donate an item for our basket, please send it in before the end of January. We are also in need of a parent to put our donated items in a basket to be put on display at the school carnival. If you would like to help out, please send me an email.
