Welcome to 4th Grade!
Stay up to date with current events happening in our class!
Good Morning! I'm writing to you from the '17 Staff Retreat in Myrtle Beach! The weather is nice and the team is crunching away on plans for these awesome 4th graders! We are on the home stretch until spring break! Here's what this short week will look like:
In Cougar's Call on Monday and Wednesday we will work on vocabulary and spelling work. On Tuesday we will take a Math Cycle Assessment. This test is not for a grade, but for district data. On Thursday we will swap for targeted math instruction. In Math we are wrapping up our multiplication and division unit. Students have started working on the study guide in class. After working on the problems independently, we are reviewing the problems as a class. I will send the study guide home Wednesday with students. They can review it one more time with you at home, then the test will be Thursday morning. If you'd rather see the study guide earlier, let me know. I wanted to make sure students get the answers correct, and understand how to work each problem. Doing a few problems at a time is easier to process. In Literacy we are wrapping up EOG prep on folktales and fables. We will take an informal quiz on folktales on Wednesday. This week we are going to use writing time to work on our science project writing. In Integrated Studies, we are working on our project all week. On Friday, students brought home a green piece of paper that told you more about our science project and listed their animal that they are going to be studying. Let me know if you have any questions about creating the structure. The projects are due Tuesday, April 18th. We will have a science test to wrap up this unit on the April 21st. HOMEWORK: -Math Study Guide (done in class) -Study multiplication and division strategies for test! (Khan Academy is a great resource!
