Dear Fourth Grade Families,
This week is a busy one. We are working on our Famous Missourians during writing. We are focusing on typing our final draft materials and editing to make sure we are on track to meet due dates. We also sent home a checklist to see where the at home pieces of the projects are at in the completion process as well. We are just wanting to check in to make sure that everyone is on track and going to be able to finish in time. If you have questions about the project please contact your students teacher as soon as possible.
In reading this week we are looking at following directions activities. We are trying to get across the importance of reading all instructions before completing a task or giving an answer. This will help them in preparing for the MAP test. In Social Studies we are studying the Civil War. We are looking at what lead up to the war, why it took place, and what Missouri's special place is in it all. If you are curious make sure to ask your student what they may have to share.
Math is still in measurement. We are looking at the customary measures and comparing them to the metric measures. It is making it difficult that we are no longer just moving a decimal point, but we are having to use a chart to remind us things like how many ounces are in a pound? How many feet are in a mile? How many cups are in a gallon? This is always a system that throws them for a loop, but we are going to continue working through it!
*Reminder two papers that need returned The Famous Missourians Checklist due Friday 3/31. & The Nurse Note that each child received about the talks that will take place next week due Wednesday 4/5
As always if you have any questions or concerns please contact your child's teacher.
Sincerely,
4th grade teachers
