Math - None - We started chapter 13 today. Our first lesson was on finding perimeter. This is a concept that is covered in 3rd grade. In 4th grade, our responsibility is to teach students how to find perimeter using a formula. In this case, P= (2xl) + (2xw) or P= 2 (l+w). The students had a tendency to try to shortcut this today by adding instead. Although they will get the correct answer, and certainly get it faster, the goal of today's lesson was to teach students how to use a formula. If you are practicing at home, please, please, please use the formula. Understanding how to use a formula now will benefit us later in the chapter, and again in 5th grade.
Science - None - We did a secret code chapter review today.
Language Arts - None - We had our Egg Drop kick off activity with Mrs. Kuhnen today. She read the 4th grade classes a story about eggs, explained the egg drop, and went over expectations for our field trip on Tuesday. After that, we finished our current read aloud book in class.
Social Studies - None - We did not have social studies today.
