We've had another great week in 4th grade!
Announcements: Picture retake day is Monday, October 1st. Reminder: Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease has been diagnosed in at least one student at Lee. A letter went home about this last week. Make sure your kids are washing their hands! We are cleaning desks every day for a while until this blows over. Reading: We are still practicing reading routines in order to get ready for guided reading. So far they have mastered reading to themselves and reading to a partner. We are still working on doing word work independently, but we'll get there next week and then we can start our reading curriculum in earnest. Writing: This week we read some stories with strong emotions in them and used those to think about stories that the kids can write from their own lives. Spelling: We had a good week in spelling, the kids are broken up into groups now and are working every day with partners to become better spellers. Math: This week we started adding and subtracting. Adding and carrying is definitely a strength, but we hit a pretty good snag when it came to borrowing for subtracting. We will keep working until everyone gets it! Science: This week we built circuits and tested a bunch of different materials to see if they are conductors or insulators. Social Studies: We have been thinking like geographers this week, doing lots of activities with Google Earth or thinking about how we live in Michigan with the natural resources that we have.
