Tales of a Forth Grade Classroom
March 3-7, 2008
The following are a few reminders, info, and tips for the next few weeks:
Ø Some kids want to challenge themselves to read for 100 points. I am completely on board; they recommended ideas to celebrate that accomplishment – We are thinking of a pottery and cookie painting adventure. We have students that are within 40 points of achieving that goal.
Ø Please watch the weather and dress accordingly. We go outside as much as we can!!
Ø MULTIPLICATION and......DIVISION facts: Keep practicing – flash cards in the car are perfect or visit these web sites for some fun drill. Ask about our "Multiplication & a Movie" contest.
www.mathplayground.com and www.multiplication.com (The math magician game is especially good for drill on this site.)
FYI:
1.
2. Here is a list of SPELLING BONUS & EXTRA WORDS:
BONUS -
Core Words: (Core words will not be listed every week. Please encourage your child to bring his/her book home.)
Extras-
3. Practice all of your math facts: adding, subtraction, multiplication and division.
AR INCENTIVE!! - Each student who earns their points by the last day of the quarter (10:00am) earns a Pizza Lunch with extra recess! Sooooooooooo, READ< READ< READ!!
