Our first meeting with our Springside sisters occurred on Monday, October 6. The fourth graders met their Kindergarten sisters and together they shared books and got to know each other. Our next encounter will be at the end of next week when we get together in the computer lab. Together the girls will explore some favorite games and activities on the computers. In the future, we hope to do some projects together using the Flip video camera.
Every Monday, Mrs. Yaffe comes into our classroom to conduct a discussion with the girls about what non-fiction books they are reading, and the girls get a chance to share what they've journals. Mrs. Yaffe has also been reading aloud short essays about different Presidents from a book called Our White House. Perfect timing with election on the horizon.
We are getting read to end our Everyday Math unit on place value and interpreting data. One activity that took
place this week involved the girls measuring their heads to the nearest 1/2 cm. and creating a bar graph with the data. They then had to record the maximum, minimum, range, mode, and median numbers using their graph as a reference. This unit also reviews and reteaches partial-sums addition and partial-differences subtraction. We are also continuing our timed multiplication tests. Please help your daughters practice their multiplication facts.
