Fourth grade continues to expand on their writing using the SMILE writing program. The class has been expository writing from prompts given to them. They have also been journal writing and doing very challenging edits on their DOL paragraphs. In addition to the writing, I will be in a SMILE writing workshop on Monday therefore the fourth grade will have a substitute for general studies.

Next week there will be a Wordly Wise test over Lesson #4 on WEDNESDAY. Due to a short week I am working the Wordly Wise with the students in class so that by Sunday they can begin studying the lesson.

The class did a fantastic job on their multiplication test, and is moving on to multiplying 3 numbers or more to double digits. Please remember to study multiplication/division facts every evening.

Next week I will be handing out writing/project guidelines for the invention convention students will be completing.

I am looking forward to meeting with you next Wednesday evening. Have a restful weekend! MB
