Classroom Phone Issues

Ever since late November I have been having issues with my classroom phone. It will work one day but not the next three. IT fixes it then it stops working again. All this to say, if you call or leave a voice mail on my classroom phone I will most likely not receive the message. Please use email if you need to contact me!

Math Unit 3- Fractions and Division

Dear Fourth Grade Families,

We will be starting our third math unit on Monday, December 5th.  This unit will focus on fractions and division.  Students have completed a pre-assessment on the skills that will be presented in this unit.  Our team has used this data to create four classes, organized so that each student can work successfully at their rate and level.

All four classes will be covering the fourth grade standards for this unit. Contrary to our last unit, our roles and pacing as teachers has changed based on the results of the pre-assessments. This unit, two classrooms will be moving at an accelerated pace with extensions as needed throughout the unit. One classroom will be moving at a standard pace with extensions as needed. The fourth class will move at a standard pace with additional practice as needed.

The purpose of our re-organizing math classes per unit is to best meet each student’s needs in regards to the concepts and skills in each unit. Please feel free to contact your child’s classroom teacher with any specific questions or concerns you may have. Below you will find all fourth grade teachers’ email addresses for your convenience throughout the unit.

Sincerely,

The Fourth Grade Team
