Message from Mrs. Langston
Welcome Back
I am very excited to see everyone back at school tomorrow for in person learning!
Remote learning is not as engaging as in person learning, and can be more difficult. I am hoping all students will come back tomorrow rested and eager to learn! We have so much to learn!
Assessment Update, Conferences, and Report Cards
We will have our Math STAR Assessment and both the Reading and Math Check Ins this week. The Check Ins will give us a good indication of what standards have been successfully met. I will be setting up phone and zoom conferences next week to discuss your student's progress. Report cards will go home on Wednesday, January 27.
Snacks and Cleansing Wipes Needed
After lunch, students clean their desks and wash their hands. Our class is in great need of cleansing/sanitizing wipes.
Multiplication and Extra Math Practice
At this point in the fourth grade year, practicing multiplication facts and constantly reviewing our math curriculum is strongly encouraged. I recommend practicing 10 minutes on multiplication and 20 minutes on the Fourth Grade Math Review Smore located below.
We are also in need of snacks. Each student must bring a snack if they would like one for our 2:00 snack time each day. We welcome extras for those who forget.
Learning Goals for the Week
ELA: I can determine meaning of general academic and domain-specific words or phrases in a text relevant to a grade 4 topic or subject area.
I can describe the overall structure of events, ideas, concepts, or information in a text or part of a text.
Math: I can find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to three-digit dividends and one-digit divisors with place value understanding using rectangular arrays, area models, repeated subtraction, partial quotients, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division.
Science: I can classify rocks as metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous based on their composition.
Multiplication Practice Always Needed
I'm done! Now what?
These resources can be used any time a student finishes work early and needs extra practice.
