We are working on poetry and many students need to turn in poems we have written in class...
We took another math timed test today (multiplication facts). We are working on fractions...
Lots of graded papers went home today.
Please keep up with PowerSchool.
The weather is taking away vital learning time, please have your child read daily out loud to you for 5-10 minutes a night. You'll be amazed at what an improvement you will see and hear in their reading.

Welcome Back, 2014, Math, Acuity
Welcome back students!
Fourth grade students at Brown are going to try something new in math... Students will change teachers for math in an effort to differentiate based on student understanding of fractions. Students took a pretest for unit 7 in December. Teachers, our coach, and administration will review student progress throughout the unit and adjust this new plan based on student learning.
Acuity C starts February 6.
We've started a new novel, Abby Takes a Stand.
We have created a website we hope will help students and parents: http://mrburkesfourthgradeclass.weebly.com/
Let's have a great second semester!

Letter from Mr. Doublestein:
Parents,
Brown Elementary’s second and fourth
grade students have worked very hard preparing for their winter music programs
on Wednesday, December 18th in the gymnasium. Included will be songs, instrument pieces and
dances that will be sure to put you in the Christmas spirit! The two programs will be separate, the second
graders starting the night off at 6:30 and the fourth graders starting at
7:30. I expect both programs to take
just over a half hour with a stage change break in between. Students are asked to wear their Dog Dash
t-shirts and jeans and to arrive fifteen minutes prior to their performance
time. They will be met by their teachers
in the cafeteria before lining up and entering the gym. While it is strongly encouraged that all
students attend this culminating music performance we ask that those who are
unable to do so contact Mr. Doublestein at wdoublestein@brownsburg.k12.in.us by Wednesday, November
27th. Many of the pieces
depend on the contributions of every performer, and any absences will need to
be anticipated. Thank you for all your
help and support as we strive to give kids positive experiences that will
develop a life-long appreciation for music.
I look forward to seeing you on December 18th!
