The class has been wonderful! They are diligent workers and are a joy to be around each day. Several times I have heard the remark from the kids that their brains are working hard, especially in math and writing...so there are good things going on! They are working with long multiplication and next week we will begin multidigits multiplied by multidigits.
In writing we are working on expository writing and will begin our writing cycle next Monday. This past week the students took first of year pre-writing assessments in both expository and narrative writing which I will file. It is a good place for me to identify where each student is starting from in their writing and where improvement is needed.
Today the 4th grade also took a practice Wordly Wise test. As mentioned on back to school night, I have been walking them through the first WW lesson since it is new to them in fourth grade. They have taken an ungraded Wordly Wise Lesson 1 test so they can view what the tests will look like in the future.
Have a wonderful and restful weekend. The kids have now had their first full week of school and have been hard back at work and need to rest those minds for another full week! Shabbat Shalom
