Families, we're a month into the school year! Your 4th graders have been working hard this week! We are finishing up units on place value in Math and plot and theme in Reading. We will continue to build on those skills throughout the year. We've also started tracking multiplication fluency. Having those facts down is so important to ensure success later in the year. Being comfortable with basic multiplication facts will make multi-digit multiplication and division that much easier!
Our digital learning portfolios are set up! We used Google Sites to create a place where each student will put projects all year. The sites are only visible to within MCCSC without a password and students have been instructed not to use their last names or any location information. Students will have to put in their school login and password to access the websites from home.
Students have begun working on instructional writing with a partner. Most groups have written a rough draft of steps in a tutorial and are beginning final drafts. Next week we will put the writing in the Educreations app with pictures and voice recording. Our plan is to add them to our digital learning portfolios.
