Product Game

As promised to my students, here is the link for the product game we played in class today.  It is also made available under the math links on the left hand side of the page.  Math facts, especially multiplication and division, are hugely important in mathematical success.  This game is also great because it brings a little strategery into play.  Have fun!

Spelling Words

Spelling words have been added to the right hand column of the blog.  Weekly spelling tests will accompany our classroom readings.  If a student gets one hundred percent on the weekly pretest, he/she will get a second "challenge" list to study during the week.  Occasional homework assignments may be assigned to help spelling word practice at home.  Challenge lists should be used for homework, if applicable.  

Fourth grade is a learning process for everyone, including me.  If you are unsure about a classroom procedure or having difficulty with communication from your child, please first check their student planner and then contact me.  Student responsibility is of the utmost importance in any child's learning experience.  I expect each child to take responsibility for their classwork and homework.  If an unusual circumstance is effecting your child's ability to complete any assignment, please  be sure to let me know.  Much more information is available at the Fourth Grade Curriculum night this Thursday, September 2 at 6:00pm in our classroom.  I hope to see you all there!
