Xtra Math Online Program

This week, the kids signed in to my XtraMath class online. The link is on my website. This is an easy, FREE, program that can be used at home and school to practice math facts. The most common question I get is...how can I help my child succeed in 4th grade?? Mastering math facts will help them be more confident as we tackle the more complex concepts later in the year. We no longer do time tests as speed is not really important. Accuracy is important. This is also a way that a struggling student can practice in the privacy of their own home to get better.

Schedule for Room 600

 

We have MUSIC on Tuesdays. We have PE on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Please plan for appropriate PE shoes on those days. Thank you.

First Week!!

We had a great first week in 4th grade!! 

We got to know each other and made new friends through several community building activities. We have logged in to our devices and next we will start to work in several programs such as Night Zookeeper, PADLET, and Quizziz. We are establishing our routines and expectations. I would love to see all Thinking Journals [front covers only] decorated by Monday. I will seal them here at school. We can always use additional supplies of black dry erase markers and pencils that we share as a class. We are good on Kleenex for now but I'll let you know when we need more. 

Thank you for all of your donations so far.
