This Week in LL38....

I can't believe it's already February.  Please be on the lookout for a Valentine's Day list of names that will be coming home early this week.  If your child chooses to participate by handing out Valentine's, please make sure he/she has a card for each classmate.  






Math Workshop
We are wrapping up our Geometry Unit.  Students will be taking the end of module assessment this week.  Your child will then come home with the scored rubric for you to sign and return.  My hope is that you will get this by the end of the week. 

Our next module will be on fractions. 

    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.

Reading Workshop

Last week the class was introduced to a online website called News ELA.  It is a news website where I can assign articles for students to read.  This website also allows them to highlight and take notes online.  Students are able to go online and read articles that they are interested in as well.  The kids can access this website from Google Classroom.  We have practiced signing on many times, so they should be all set with that part.  This might be a great option for Reading in the Edges.

I hope everyone has a great week.
