Quick Reminders:
Upcoming Dates:
Reading and Writing Unit Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing This week students will utilize the skills taught through the Narrative unit about Characters and dive deeper into analyzing Peter and Fudge. Students will continue to laugh and giggle at the adventures of Fudge. Students will finish the novel this week and begin working on their project for the book. The project will be completed at school. Math - Adding and Subtracting with Whole Numbers This week we are continuing 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! Social Studies: This week we will start learning about the Midwest Region of the United States. We will get through all 5 regions by the end of the school year. Students are expected to have the states, location, and capitals memorized. They will make flash cards at school to bring home to study. This is a great time to talk with them about the Regions and the uniqueness of each state! While they are learning about each region, we will discuss the land, water, climate, natural resources, and culture of the Regions. They will make a scrapbook of their journey to each Region at school. The test over the states, location and capitals of the Midwest will be on Thursday, September 14th.
