Walk-a-thon & Haiti: The Strawberry students voted to use the money raised during the walk-a-thon on May 24th to support an organization working for the people of Haiti. Today a friend of Kate Klaire who is an active member of an organization working in Haiti came to the classroom to share about what efforts are currently underway in Haiti.

Fourth grade math
Purple group: We practiced a variety of math problems for skill review in our warm up. Pairs of students enjoyed playing two games requiring comparison of decimal numbers: the strategy game Deci-Mill Dunk or the game of chance Decimal Compare (like War). Students practiced adding and subtracting decimal numbers, and pointed out the importance of lining up the correct place values and decimal points. The other group worked on problems dividing fractions (handout here). They found that drawing pictures helped figure out the answer and helped determine an algorithm for doing other problems.
Blue Group: Students played a decimal comparison game today and continued working on the fraction and decimal review assessment.
