Fourth Grade Math Students Roughed the Cold for the "Measuring 100 Feet Challenge" |
This morning during fourth grade math students measured 100 feet. Even in the cold, masking tape snaked around campus. It's surprising how long 100 feet actually is (around 3 times the length of the classroom). More pictures from math this morning here. Fourth grade parents please read the Unit Four Parent Letter that is posted on the right.
There was such a high caliber of conversation at reading groups today. I would have recorded the discussions, but I feel awkward shuffling around while putting an iphone into students' faces. Students "respectfully agree/disagree" with each other and are becoming independent, formal conversationalist. This afternoon students worked on their Lewis and Clark projects and they're are also coming around. Also, I added some United States geography links on the right.
Homework for tonight is to:
1. Read Reading Group chapter and do job (Terebithia Group needs to read up to chapter 8). If completed (not a lot have) read for thirty minutes total.
2. Fourth math
3. Spelling
Have a good night!
