GO 'FOURTH' AND LEARN
News from Mrs. Priebe's 4th grade class ...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The students and I rang in the New Year by celebrating our reading successes! Many students showed growth in DIBELS assessment and in AR Goals! I'm so proud!
We also took some time to reflect on last year and set goals for 2015. Each student chose one word that would guide them in the new year. Check our New Year "One Word" Resolutions out below, as well as important events and your child's homework responsibilities for this week.

MATH HOMEWORK
The students are doing a fantastic job completing their weekly homework. Each day the students are assigned 30 math problems in class. As the math concepts get more difficult the students might be bringing home more homework. Please assist your child with any questions they might have on their daily work.
Here are the lessons we will cover this week:
Tuesday - Lesson 61: Remaining Fractions / Two Step Equations

Also, please encourage a few minutes of daily math fact practice! IXL.com and XtraMath.com are fantastic websites to sharpen those skills!
