Math  -

• Many children need to review the fourth grade fraction skills.  We've spent last week very quickly reviewing and it is evident that some children still need more help with these skills.  We did a check-up Friday that I'll probably not put in the grade book, but will ask for children to have a parent signature if the score is below a 75 so that you are aware of your child's progress.  I handed these out yesterday in my second math class.  If the paper comes home, PLEASE take the time to have your child make corrections and review those with him/her. There is plenty of practice in the math book - chapter 13 and step by step directions in their journal.  Retake will be tomorrow for class 2.

Tuesday we'll have our behavior reward activity (movie with snacks and drinks) for any children who earned 3 or less checks on their choice card this nine weeks.  I am so proud of the children that made an extra effort to have great conduct and work habits.  Starting Tuesday, we start with a clean slate!  I'd love for ALL children to get to go to the reward activity!  We've had a lot of conversations lately about good and appropriate behavior in the classroom, cafe, and hall.  Furthermore, we've discussed being ready and responsible for classes.  Children should gather the things that they need when switching classes (pencil, notebook, homework, etc.) so that they are ready to learn!  Mrs. Upchurch and I have let the children have this first nine weeks to adjust and get used to our routines.  At this point, children should be responsible and will be asked to sign their choice card if they have to return to their homeroom for forgotten materials.  The best help for children is an organized binder!  The children should have their homework and pencil pouch in their binder.  If they take that with them, then they've got almost everything they need!!!

Problems may be hand written or may be typed - children's preference, but will need to be typed or written very neatly for the final project.  Next week, we will go over part two of the project which will involve putting the problem, solution, and pictures from the sales ad into a foldable and adding titles, labels, etc.

• Check-up/Classwork grade tomorrow over what we've learned this week:  
• Multiplying by powers of ten (see pages 128-131 in text and especially journal)
• Using decimal models to multiply (text pages 132-133 and journal)
• Multiplying decimals (text pages 134 -139 and journal)
• Shop Till You Drop, Project Part 1 - Use the sale ad to create a grade-level appropriate multi-step word problem involving decimals.   Grade-level appropriate means that it should not only have addition, but also some multiplication or simple division.  Below is an example of a good project from last year.  On Monday, 10/7, the multi-step problem and step-by-step labeled solution is due. Problems may be hand written or may be typed - children's preference, but will need to be typed or written very neatly for the final project.  Next week, we will go over part two of the project which will involve putting the problem, solution, and pictures from the sales ad into a foldable and adding titles, labels, etc.  
• Journal check - next week 

Word Study

• Review words for spelling and dictation test tomorrow! This will be our last word study grade of the nine weeks.

Science -

• Finish cell drawing if not finished in class (due Friday)
• Cell Test, tomorrow (study guide went home Tuesday)
