Enjoy your days off. If you can find the time, go and visit some of the fraction and other sites that are linked on our blog. Hope to see you soon,

Go here to view video on multiplication and division

2010-12-04T12:52:00.007-05:00

Most of you (and me!) did not learn how to multiply and divide this way but check it out. We are learning this in class and it makes sense and allows your student to use the facts they are most familiar with.

Having trouble making the link work, but if you type it in there should not be a problem.

Thank you for taking your time to stop by our blog. Be sure to preview all sites before letting your child have access. Although I do visit the main site, it is impossible for me to preview every game or link. Safely use the internet and monitor your child's access to sites.

I know that your student has worked hard this year and will do their very best on the CRCT. I have great faith in their abilities! Please encourage your student in his/her quest to be the very best. Positive encouragement can go a long way towards student success.

Educational Website for MEDT 7462

2009-06-13T13:57:00.007-04:00

Kids Know It

One website that I think is very useful is the Kids Know It Network. The site has many interactive games, movies, and even music. It is a site that allows students to self select according to their interests or teacher assignment. Links to other sites bring students on a real journey of understanding. I have used this for building background knowledge and student research while investigating the planets, constellations, and moon phases. The kids love it and don't want to leave the computer lab.

Welcome to our class blog! Visit from time to time and see what your student is learning in fourth grade. Weekly spelling lists will be posted on this site. Hopefully, student work will also be displayed. I can't promise that I will post every week, but I will try my best. Thanks for stopping by; while you are here, please try the weather related links.
