Math Update

Since we will not finish the math fraction chapter before Christmas, we are planning to cut the unit in ½ . . . test over lessons 1,2,3,4 is scheduled for Wednesday.  We will review Monday and Tuesday.

Today we explored more with equivalent fractions by playing the game "Fraction Match" (which is similar to uno). See the online Student Reference Book page 263 for instructions. Every child has their own gamecards! Make it a family game night!

Remember that the everyday math website also has a pretty incredible e-toolkit. During class we used the fraction circles. If you have some extra computer time this weekend, check it out!

Remember the website is:

Students have their log in and password in their agendas!

Tree of Lights

Some of you may be wondering about a classroom gift exchange. In 4th grade we ask that the $3.00 to $5.00 that would have gone towards a gift exchange be donated to the Tree of Lights campaign. The donations help others right here in Monroe County to have a nice Christmas. This goes along with December’s “Caring” character trait. Thank you for helping to teach Gardner students to be such caring individuals!
