Our fraction unit finds us working on word problems in math. We always underline the question being asked and circle important information in order to help us decide what process should be used to solve the word problem. Before the week is out we will also learn how to use calculators to simplify fractions and to move back and forth between decimals and fractions.
Students are learning about clouds and climate this week as part of our weather unit. They completed a webquest on clouds during our technology time on Tuesday.
Thanks so much for the books that were purchased for our classroom from the bookfair. We will all enjoy the increased selection! Thanks too for the pillow donations. We appreciate the cozy atmosphere they help create during reading time.
FYI....If you need a last minute gift...JYJ 4th grade classes still have chocolate chip cookie mix in a jar for sale. All proceeds go towards Help Heal Haiti!
