4th Grade Math: 4/21 Division Classwork/Homework Continue from class to complete "Knowing When to Multiply or Divide" (both parts), and the Missing Factors page. For students that completed this section in class try the On Balance problems. These are meant to be challenging, and the students are not expected to finish the packet, but to spend about 20 minutes working through them as best they can. We will share solutions in class over the week.

As part of our Earth Day focus, TBS began a water audit today. We tracked water throughout the day, collecting wash water in a bucket, keeping track of the amount of drinking water from faucets, and noting the number of flushes! Tomorrow, at our school assembly we will review the results and connect it to the bigger picture of water use.
Our return from break saw us eagerly delving into research about the topics for our performance of learning in the end of May. The students gathered more information in the first part of the day, then began script/screenplay writing int he afternoon.
Free Speech Movement group reviewing historical pieces online.
Rosie the Riveter/Woman's Movement group highlighting sections of text.
