Announcements:
It was another great week in fourth grade! There are a ton of announcements in the Friday Folder so make sure you check those out. Reading: Good readers don't learn unless they are thinking about what they're reading, and this week we focused on asking questions about what we read. Writing: The kids wrote an autobiography this week, with a specific focus on using transition words and putting things in a sequence that their reader can follow. Look for it next week. Math: Multiplication is upon us! The first of the major fourth grade skills is multiplying big numbers, and we're starting it already. Next week you might see some funny looking math come home, but it's all in service of teaching them to be math thinkers, not just answer makers. In any case, everything we learn will tie in to 5th grade when they learn the traditional way of multiplying. So if you want to show them how we did it back in school, that's awesome! More math understanding is the goal, and being involved at home is great. Social Studies: Where did our government come from, and who made it? That was the focus this week as we learned about the Founding Fathers and the documents they created: The Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution.
