Week #3

 Here's a quick peek into our week together.

• We started our first unit of math. We reviewed place value, rounding, and comparing multi-digit numbers. 
• We continued to use our writing journals to collect seed ideas for stories. We also spent time writing on Kidblog.
• We watched videos of scientists and discussed what it means to be a scientist. We found out that scientists are really just normal people. They don't all have crazy hair! 
• We spent time writing about our reading and finished our first read aloud, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. 
• We celebrated Dot Day and learned that everyone can leave their mark on the world. 
• We ended the week with 4th grade activity!

It was nice to meet so many parents at Curriculum Night. I know it can be hard to get your child to talk about their day so here are some questions you can ask to promote a conversation!

• What is Kahoot?
• What are you writing about on Kidblog?
• What book are you currently reading?
• What happened to Dribble in Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing?
• What types of jobs to scientists do?
• How can you use QR scanners in math?
• What was your favorite math game this week?
• What did you do at 4th grade activity this week?

Here's a great blog post about the benefits of Kidblog.

There will be an early release on September 23rd. 

Enjoy the warm weather this weekend!
