This week in LL38....

I hope everyone enjoyed the extra long weekend!  

Writing Workshop

     We will work on becoming published authors this week.  Last week the kids worked on punctuating dialogue and started editing their story.  This week we will continue to edit and then we will start to type or write our final drafts.  This will be homework as well this week.  All stories will need to be finished by Thursday.  We will celebrate all of the authors on Friday!

Valentine's Day

     Your child should have brought home a class list last week. Your child can bring in their Valentine cards on Friday.  If you didn't receive a list, please remind your child to take one tomorrow.

Math Workshop

     We will be taking our Module 4 assessment tomorrow.  Geometry has been a fun unit.  The kids were able to do a lot of hands on learning.  

     Our next module will be on fractions.  I will be sending home a parent letter this week explaining some of the topics that will be covered.

     One topic that is very important for 4th graders to understand in this unit is multiplying fractions.  One fun way of reinforcing this at home is through cooking.  For example if you are baking cookies and you need to double the recipe your child could figure out the measurements for each ingredient if it was doubled or multiplied by 2.

I hope everyone has a great week!
