Fourth grade math (Blue & Purple groups)
This morning fourth graders took a pre-assessment for our new geometry and measurement unit, titled "Size, Shape, and Symmetry." Students in both groups used rulers and meter-sticks to find benchmarks (convenient, everyday items) equal to one centimeter, one meter, one inch, one foot, and one yard. Being able to estimate measurement is a very useful skill that requires lots of practice--students will be surveying their parents about estimating measurement tonight for homework.
Ocean Research project: Students began taking notes from their library books. If your child did not visit a library yet, it is still required.
