Dear Parents,
Reading Pledges were sent
home in Tuesday folders this past week! Students who return the pledge will
receive a treat. We get a shout out on the announcements when we all return it!
Please keep the SUMMER READING LOG!
Those reading logs can be turned in in the fall as a ticket to an ice cream
party with the principals!
Thank you all for a great
year! I have loved every minute of having your kids in class with me this year.
Thank you for trusting me with your babies and letting me teach them. They are
going to soar in 4th grade because of all of their hard work,
determination, and their support system at home.

THIS WEEK IN MATH:
We will finish out
the year with our STEP UP TO 4TH GRADE Unit. We will continue to
look at different multiplication models such as area (or box/window) model,
lattice, partial product, and standard algorithm. Area (box/window) seems to be
the favorite of the week, while lattice seems to be a bit more challenging.
Some of the
areas we will be focusing on this week are:
·
2
Digit by 2 Digit Multiplication
·
Multiple
Step Word Problems Involving Multiplication And Division
MATH
RESOURCES FOR PRACTICE
Khan Academy - 2 Digit by 2 Digit
Multiplication –
This video on 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication from Khan Academy is a good way
to see how to multiply 2 digit by 2 digit numbers.
Math Playground - 2 Digit by 2 Digit
Multiplication – Practice
2 digit by 2 digit multiplication on Math Playground using the standard
algorithm method. You can also view the area model on our class blog page here.
Soft Schools - Learning
Multiplication –
Playing on Level 2 of the Learning Multiplication game will give students 2
digit by 2 digit multiplication problems. Level 1 would be a good review of 2
digit by 1 digit multiplication problems. Level 3 is a mixed practice that
includes numbers through the hundreds place.
Education Galaxy – As students log into their
accounts on Education Galaxy, they can choose the option to go up 1 level and
work through 4th grade materials. In the purple section titled “My Study Plan”, there are several
different topics to practice. The TEKS accompany these skills.
IXL - Multiple Step Word Problems – Work through different multi-step
word problems in IXL. Since we do not have a subscription, you are only able to
work through a set amount of problems a day before it closes out. I can’t
remember the exact number, but I want to say it’s around 10 or so. Still great
practice!
These links
can be accessed on our Step Up to 4th Grade Symbaloo here.
As we continue through the unit, more links will be added.
THIS
WEEK IN SCIENCE:
In science this week, we will finish our Unit on Organisms
and Ecosystems by continuing to review for our last test of the year. This will
be a cumulative test that covers everything we have learned this semester in
science. Our year end test will include information from the following units:
●
Force, Motion, and
Energy
●
Sun and Solar System
●
Earth and Its
Resources
●
Organisms and
Ecosystems
We have
been reviewing in class by playing different games in each of these areas. In
addition to these games, links from all of these units can be found by clicking
on the matching Symbaloo.
Once we
finish our last science test of the year, we will quickly look at how liquids
are turned into solids for food sources. Examples of this are butter, margarine
and ice cream. Students will be researching how liquids are turned to solids by
using different videos and websites. A link with the different videos and
websites they will be using is here.
Thank you so much for
your dedication to helping your child learn.
