Welcome to 4th Grade!
Stay up to date with current events happening in our class!
Short week this week and an even shorter week next week. Where is the time going? I can't believe it's already November. I'm so proud of the work these kiddos continue to make every day. Give them a hug, they deserve it!
Next week during Cougar's Call time we will be working on spelling, vocabulary and word work. The spelling words for November are: beautiful classify community communities electricity happiness prettier your you're In Math on Monday we will take the Quarter 1 Test. This is not a graded test, but rather to check student progress. The rest of the week we will work on division strategies. We will learn multiple ways to work out a division problem and talk about remainders. We are focusing on fact families and strategies for dividing large numbers. (Fact Family Example with numbers 2, 3, 6. **2x3=6, 6/3=2 or 6/2=3.** All these numbers are used to get the product or quotient.) Keep having your child practice their multiplication facts so they are confident with all fact families from 0-12! In Literacy we will continue our nonfiction study. We will talk about text structures that help us determine why a text is written. Some of these structures include: description, comparing/contrasting, sequence/order, problem/solution, cause/effect, and chronological. On Friday we will have an informal quiz on identifying the main idea and structure of a nonfiction passage. In Writing we will begin our study on journal writing. In Integrated Studies we are moving chronologically from the Native Americans in North Carolina to the early European Settlers. We will spend the week discussing the Lost Colony and the possible outcomes of its inhabitants.
