It is October already and it is definitely starting to feel like fall out. We are busy here is fourth grade and the students are working hard. We are currently covering multiplication in math. We have been reviewing their basic multiplication facts 0-12 for the past week. We are now getting ready to move on to multi- digit multiplication starting two digits times one digit and working our way up.
Next, in reading we just finished our class read, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, and are continuing with our literature circle groups. The students are also authors. They are working on an expository writing assignment where they are informing about something that they know a lot about.
Since it is October the end of the quarter will be here before we know it. The students have until October 17 to meet their AR Goal for this quarter. Please ask your student about their goal and encourage them to meet or exceed that goal. We want all of our students to be successful!
Science we are studying a world of motion and force. The students are learning about how things like gravity and friction effect their daily life. This unit usually leads to some really neat conversations!
Finally, spelling is a review week this week. The students are not responsible for a rule and the 15 words that are on their main list are ones they have previously had. The other two words on their list this week are Missouri and America. It is important that students be able to spell these since they are the state and country in which they live.
If you have any questions please contact us. We are more than happy to help!
Have a great week,
Fourth Grade Team
