Busy Fourth Graders

Almost every Tuesday and Friday we go to the library computer lab to work on math skills using the math website www.aleks.com. Each student has their own log in name and password. They can work at their own pace on various math skills to fill in their ALEKS "pie". Once a student fills one pie, they can move onto another pie. This website can be accessed after school hours from home as well. During some free time, several of the fourth graders used the iPads to work on ALEKS this week.

A fun math activity that we have been working on in October is coordinate grid pictures. The fourth graders used the clues to make a monster and an owl.

During our Spelling time we do various activities to practice the words on our lists. One activity is to use the website and iPad app called "Spelling City". There are games and practice tests for the students to use in order to master the spelling of the words.

These fourth graders are playing spelling games on the iPads.

ALEKS and Seasons

Almost every Tuesday and Friday we go to the computer lab during our Math period to work on ALEKS. The fourth graders have been busy "filling up their pies" by answering math problems and practicing various math skills. They also like working on Quick Tables (like timed tests) to earn math games. ALEKS can also be accessed from home! 

This week we also added new posts to our Kidblog. The fourth graders wrote about their favorite season. If you'd like to see what they wrote and leave them a comment or two I'm sure they'd love it! Thanks! :) Click HERE to visit our Kidblog.
