Math - Adding and Subtracting with Whole Numbers This week we are starting Topic 4: Addition and Subtraction while focusing on mental math and estimation to verify the correct answer. Often times students are able to do the math on paper, yet mentally solving the answer does not come as naturally. This unit will focus on enhancing those skills. We will talk to the kids about getting out their Math Tool Belt where we have a variety of strategies to help them with adding and subtracting mentally. Each strategy will work differently for each kid. We're asking that they try the strategy and find the one that works for them! Reading This week we continue reading the Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing. Students will focus on the literary elements of Summarizing, Point of View and Comparing Characters. Ask your kids each night what Fudge did in each chapter. You'll never believe the grief he causes! Social Studies: Students will continue learning about and practicing Map Skills. We will finish up Map Skills this week and start our Map Test on Friday.
