Yesterday the students received their very own squishy ball learning tool. These are quite useful to hold and squish during class meetings. Strawberry Creek had a bin of squishy balls last year that were mostly torn up before the end, so we agreed as a community to distribute individual squish balls. The students continue to use them responsibly. In addition, each child is in charge of two pencils, and up to now not one has been misplaced! Hopefully, we'll continue this positive trend.
Wednesday (9/29) homework is:
1. Math for 4th graders
- Practice your math facts using your array cards with someone else (parent, sibling). Make a "know it" pile and a "don't know it" pile based on whether you can say the fact within a "one-one thousand" count. Practice for at least 10 minutes.
- Optional--go to the multiplication.com website to play multiplication games.
2. Read and fill out your reading log.
3. Fill out your spelling sheet.
