Math: Fortson, Maestri and McCoy:
We will continue with our Module 5 lessons 22-25. As always, this is the plan, but this can change during the week depending on how well students are doing with the content! Just a reminder that Fortson/Derry kids received last week's major test back today. There are students who are doing a mandatory test correction time with Mrs. Fortson for two days. After that time, students are allowed to take home any other corrections and also get test signed so that redo credit can be given. This is a reflective redo.
Fourth Grade math resource link- I have included this resource link which is found on our blog under the math page. This is an excellent resource that also includes videos for you and your child to watch at home.
