Welcome to 4th Grade!
Stay up to date with current events happening in our class!
Hi all! Whew it's been a busy week! With quizzes, tests, and MAP testing on top, these kiddos are probably ready for the weekend too! Hopefully next week will be less hectic!
Cougar's Call: Students will work on Wordly Wise Lesson 2 and copy down the November Spelling words in their agenda on Monday. Monday and Friday will be used for vocabulary, spelling and fluency practice. On Tuesday and Thursday we will start swapping for targeted Math instruction. Check our your student's agenda to see where your child will be during this time. On Wednesday morning, students will take their Social Studies test. Students went home today with a study guide :) Math: In Math we are starting Topic 3 on Multiplication. We will start the week by using multiples of 10,100 and 1000 to answer large multiplication equations (e.g. 3x2=6, 3x20=60, 3x200=600, etc.) We will also spend the week practicing multiplication methods and perfecting the method that works best for each student! Because we will be multiplying large numbers, it is ESSENTIAL that each student is fluent in their multiplication facts from 0-12. Please, let me know if your child needs additional practice. I have extra flash cards he/she can borrow! Literacy: We have learned about characters, plot and summarizing over the past few weeks. Now we will take a look at theme. This can be tricky for students to see the "big picture" or lesson of a story. You can help by talking through the common themes in folktales, movies, or books you're reading at home with your child! With more practice this concept will get easier :) Writing: The students should have their writing process completed by Monday. This is the 5 paragraph paper on a topic of their choice that we've been working on daily in class. We will wrap up the writing process (for now) and learn how to write a friendly letter. This is one of my favorite lessons! Students will learn the proper way to write a letter and address an envelope. They will use this skill at Biz-Town where they will receive a letter from a friend at their "work"! Integrated Studies: We are wrapping up our Shark Tank projects and presenting Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday one group from our class with compete with other groups from 4th grade to present to "investors." On Thursday students will start working on BizTown work. HOMEWORK: -Read two and a half hours and log in agenda -Social Studies study guide -Math book page 85 & 86 ANNOUNCEMENTS: **Volunteers Needed Monday, October 9th for Raku Pottery in Art during Connect.
