MATHEMATIC MADNESS!!!!!

Wow! The fourth grade students gave their oral presentations today for their "Math Don't Leave School Without It" Projects. There was a flurry of multiplication, division, two-step problems and even multi-step mathematics presented throughout the day. Students were responsible for taking notes on the presentations given and attempting to identify the mathematical concept presented as well as work out the problems. Fourth grade is full of amazing problem solvers and every student completed the assignment!! YIPPEE!! Once again, fourth grade is forever fabulous!

Homework Alert:

Students located AR books coinciding with their ZPD levels in our classroom library today. Students were individually evaluated by Mrs. Schemenauer. So the homework for tonight is...

1) Students are to read their AR book for twenty minutes.
2) As a portion of their twenty minute reading time they should read two pages orally to a parent, grandparent, or any adult. The adult needs to sign the homework sheet that the student copied from the board in class.

** Supplemental** Any student desiring a greater challenge can write a one page summary about their reading. Summaries should include the main points of the reading only. (Who?What?Where?When? Why? How?)
