Announcements:
I think we are FINALLY finished with NWEA, AIMS, language center practice, and all the other beginning of the year stuff! I'm very excited for next week, which should be our very first regular week with no big interruptions or changes. Reading: By now, most 4th graders know how to say words that they see on a page. That doesn't mean they are doing real reading! Good readers also THINK about what they are reading, and that's what we are starting next week. I will begin the process of teaching them what goes on in a good reader's head while they read. Writing: This week we learned what makes a good story. Then we planned out a story of our own and wrote it! You will see it come home next Friday. Math: This week was basically just rounding week! The kids did a great job, because rounding big numbers to the ten thousands place is a hard task. We moved on to comparing numbers just today, and we will be getting ready for a test on Tuesday. In the Friday Folder there is a practice test that is optional, and should help you get an idea of what the test will look like. The kids can complete it and return it for a homework SHINE ticket. Science: We are not going to start our first real science unit until we finish teaching the first Social Studies unit. Social Studies: Still no social studies this week, but next week we start with learning about inquiry, which is asking questions and why it is important. Comments are closed.
