Week before spring break!

Hello All!!!!!

We are on our last full days before SPRING BREAK. We have Tuesday, Wednesday then a half day Thursday, then we are out till April 13th!!! The kids are excited and so am I. Need a little down time before we start gearing up for testing.

We are finishing up a few things before we head off to break though. Today we finished our second novel, The BFG. The kids loved it! I loved it! Dalh is a fabulous writer and keeps the kids entertained. 

Tomorrow students will be presenting their own fairy tales in class. Since I have been helping them edit their stories I know what is happening in most but cannot wait to see how they present them. I love when they get a chance to be creative.

We are also wrapping up adding and subtracting fractions. We will go in to multiplying them when we get back. Today the kids got to play fractions games. It was a blast watching them use their knowledge and really get into the games. We will continue this for the rest of the week too!I am new to the whole world of 4th grade so I have a question for all of you out there. What should we focus on and what great resources do you use to review for the test? I want to get my kids pumped up and have them go in to the test knowing they can kick its butt!!! So help me out friends!

I hope everyone has a great Monday and a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
