4th Grade Math:  While some students are bringing home classwork, a number of students will have this page on multiples.  In class we continued to work on breaking apart multiplication problems. 
Some students worked with Sima today, practicing estimation for double-digit by double-digit multiplication problems, to be sure their answers are reasonable. They also learned how to use arrays and equations to represent the partial products that make up 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication problems.  Homework: Finish the handout, solving the problem 2 different ways using arrays.

We spent the later morning and early afternoon working on Words Their Way and "getting to know our brain". Students took a quiz online in order to find out the different ways they are smart. The quiz asked various questions that touch on the 8 different types of intelligences-- Kinaesthetic - Body, Smart, Linguistic - Word Smart, Logical - Number Smart, Interpersonal - People Smart, Intrapersonal - Myself Smart, Musical - Music Smart, Visual/Spatial - Picture Smart, and Naturalistic - Nature Smart. The students received a personal code that allows them to access their results. We encourage you to talk to your child about what they thought of the activity and what they may have learned about themselves. Later, we'll use these results to create a classroom diagram of all the different types of learners in Strawberry Creek. We're hoping to start some conversations about gifts and challenges and the different ways we all learn.

If you'd like to look at your child's results please click here.
Also, it would be great if you took the test yourself and compared your results with your student!

We ended the day with a review and short assessment of what we've learned so far in botany. We'll continue the rest of the assessment tomorrow.
