Hello 4th grade families,
This week in room 151 we are learning many new things.
In math this week, we are learning more about measuring angles, division, and coordinate grids. The 4th graders will be bringing a half circle protractor home today, please help them remember to bring them back.
In science this week we are learning about the different reactions that vinegar, iodine, and red cabbage juice have with salt, alum, cornstarch, baking soda, and talc. The students are learning quickly that different liquids react differently with different powders.
In my classroom for this entire unit we have been watching youtube videos that teach us in a fun way about what we are learning- such as Mr. Duey's video about long division. You can check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwa9YZzSj9c Based on how much the students have been learning from these awesome videos we are beginning to create songs, poems, raps, stories, etc about the things that we learn each week. These interactive activities are allowing the students to remember important information that we learn as well as have fun with it. Feel free to ask your child what they created to show what they have learned.
I will post some of the videos on my blog soon. I am amazed at how creative the students can be in such a short time.
