Next week we will be doing geometric string art in Math. I ask that you send a regular sewing needle and at least 2 spools of thread with for your child. We will be making patterns on construction paper so it is fun for students to use different colors of thread. I know they also make some shiny thread and sparkles and all of that fun stuff. We will need it by next week Tuesday (18th of December). I do have some extra needles and thread from previous years but that is a limited selection. We are finishing up our multiplication unit in math and the kids are doing very well! All the practice we have done from the start of the year is definitely paying off. Our next unit is basic algebra.
In reading we have been working on Main Idea in Informational Texts for the last several weeks and will continue with that skill for the next couple of weeks. We hope to get in a week of fluency practice next week by sharing our reading skills with the primary grade levels. Our class will select picture books to read to the younger students using good fluency. The younger grade level kids love when the older students model good reading for them.
It is a very busy time of year for everyone. Our entire 4th grade will be doing some caroling in the downtown area on the 19th thanks to Mr. Resley. If he hasnt already sent information home for that it will be coming home soon.
