4th Grade News

Dear parents,


It was meaningful to see all dads and loved ones joining your child's classroom and working together on building up a tower! This fosters a strong relationship with your little ones, thank you for coming. This learning week has been very powerful in which our learners prepared materials for their upcoming SLC. Remember that our SLC begins on Monday, Nov. 11 and the second day is on Wednesday, Nov. 13th. Please be prompt to your scheduled time and don't forget that this activity is led by our learners. We ask for your help to support our mathematicians to develop a positive mathematical identity. We encourage them to always think about the infinitive opportunities they have on a daily basis to learn and grow as thinkers. Here’s an article we find helpful from our Bridges Program that might help you understand the power of using Language Intentionally. Please find below our upcoming learning targets. Have an amazing weekend.
