Yes, today is Wednesday which means staff meeting day with Mr. English so I tend to make these days shorter posts.
We had a good day today once again and are making good progress with making positive choices as a 4th grader and displaying good character. Today we talked about how "true character shines when no one is watching". Have a discussion about what this means with your child. I am enjoying having your child in class and I hope they are enjoying it too. I am sure they will agree that 4th grade expectations and the work load are quite different from primary grades. But I truly BELIEVE that each and every one of your children are going to make amazing growth this year academically, socially, and emotionally.
In math today we had fun reading some very large numbers and working with standard, expanded, word form and place value. Tomorrow will be our first real math assignment for the year. I heard lots of Yaayyyys on that one today!!! So glad they like to work.
We are almost finished with our Top 10 All About ________. Yes, they wrote the top 10 things about themselves and then made name glyphs. Ask them what a name glyph is. Then we partnered up to share name glyphs and to interview one another. Then students took all they learned about their partner and wrote it into a biography. Great first writing project of the year. They will be on display at Open House which is September 9th from 5:30-6:30. Hope to see you all there. Ask your child who their partner is and 2 things they learned about them. Write them on a piece of paper for free money. Oh how I hope those assignment notebooks get here soon to make this blog reading so much easier!!!!!
Tomorrow is PE so bring those tennis shoes.
Have a great night.
