4th Grade Fun at JBE: Week of October 26, 2020

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to another busy week at JBE. This week we will be recognizing Red Ribbon Week. We will participate in many fun activities designed to make students aware of the dangers of drugs. Please see the schedule below.

One of the activities is a Class Door Decorating Contest. The theme or our door is going to Minions and we will use the slogan; “There Are A Minion Reasons To Say No To Drugs”. Today at school, students received a minion and a post-it note. Students need to neatly color the minion and cut it out. Students may use markers, crayons or colored pencils to color their minion. On the post-it note they should write their name at the top and then write their reason for saying no to drugs. When complete stick the post- it note on the minion and return it to school any time before next Friday.

Mon. WEAR RED- “PROUD TO BE DRUG FREE!” (students receive red mask)

Tues. WEAR TYE-DYE /HIPPY “PEACE OUT TO DRUGS!”

Wed. WEAR an Orange Shirt- To show that we are against drugs and bullying.

Thurs. WEAR SAFFARI GEAR “WILD ABOUT BEING DRUG FREE!”

*Matter Test

Over the past several weeks I am discovering that many students do not fluently know their multiplication facts. In order for students to be successful with the work that we are doing in Module 3 it is dependent on them having quick recall of multiplication facts. Please visit the sites below for more facts practice.

This week in math we will begin working on our standard for solving division problems. In this standard students will learn strategies for solving problems. Just like with our multiplication standard, students will not learn the algorithm. If students know the long division algorithm they may use it as a checking strategy. Please see the examples below of the strategies that students will learn in class.
