This group of 4th graders is really an awesome bunch! They continue to exceed my high expectations and are doing a great job of communicating with each other about their learning and socially as well.
Our Daily 4 time is going very well. "Read to Someone" has been introduced this week. Our focus with "Read to Someone" is fluency and checking for understanding. We are taking the opportunity to learn from each other and share our strengths with each other and it's going great! Our last Daily 4 choice will be introduced at the end of this week or the beginning of next. Once that is completed the students will move into making their daily choices and meeting with me within our strategy groups (skill based) and individual conferring sessions which will allow me to focus on the unique needs of each student! I am really excited about the learning that will take place and the progress that will be made this year!
In Math we are finishing up our unit on Place Value, Rounding, and Comparing and Ordering Numbers. Students will continue their practice and have a chance to demonstrate what they know over the next few days. We will be moving into problem solving with addition and subtraction next. We'll be focusing on strategies that will help us with different types of problem solving work. The students are doing a great job with their math notes. We are keeping daily notes of our learning and adding to our math vocabulary often.
Check back soon to see the students in action!
