Self Assessment
This morning students reflected on their "Approach to Learning," using the same criteria teachers use for progress reports. We provided a rubric that spelled out what it "looks like" to stay on task, show pride in one's work, and many other criteria, at the Emerging, Competent, and Mastering levels, and students rated themselves. Figuring out one's strengths and challenges in how we learn is an important step for students to take ownership of their own learning and become lifelong learners.
Math games
The fourth grade met all together today to play games that strengthen students' computational skills, especially multiplication and division.
 |
| The Dice Game builds automaticity with multiplication facts. |
 |
| MADS stands for Multiplication, Addition, Division, Subtraction, and builds fluency with all 4 operations. |
 | |
| The Leftovers game helps students divide and write expressions with remainders. |
