Announcements:
This update is for the last two weeks - the schedule has been all over the place, so we've been working on all the same things both weeks. We have been working on NWEA, and we will continue next week. I like to take it nice and slow, about an hour each day. That way the kids are not overwhelmed. They're all doing their best and showing some great improvement. Reading: One of the key skills of 4th grade is being able to read something and then explain it. We've been reading books about science at each student's level and learning how to take out all of the important information and retell it in our own words. Writing: A good writer uses language to describe a setting. This week we practiced visualizing backwards, starting with a picture and learning how to accurately turn that into a paragraph. We ended the week by using those skills to describe a familiar place. Math: Fractions are here! We've been going through the three main way's we'll use fractions this year: regular number fractions, picture models, and number lines. On the way we learned to compare them and find equivalent fractions. Social Studies: Maps are everywhere, and there are so many different kinds! This week we focused on how maps of the whole earth work and how we can interact with them. Science: Science had to be forgone so that we could do NWEA. It breaks my heart! Comments are closed.
