Week 3

I want to thank those of you again for attending Open House last night! It was so nice to see all of you. I know all of the information can be overwhelming so I am attaching the PowerPoint in case you want to go back and digest some of the information some more. Also, for those of you who did not attend, this will help provide you with a little more information about how our class is set up and what you can expect for your child’s 4^th grade year.

This week in…

Spelling/Grammar: The students worked on their spelling activities and they took their spelling quiz this morning. We also discussed simple subjects this week.

Reading: We continued to learn reading strategies and the students are finding “good fit books” to read.

Writing: The kiddos have been working hard on their narratives.

Social Studies: We wrapped up our Economics unit and there will be a test next Tuesday. Your child should be bringing home their study guide and their Social Studies notebook every day to study. Please help your child go over these terms.

Math: We are wrapping up place value today with a Chapter 1 test (reading and writing large numbers, comparing and ordering numbers, and rounding numbers).

Next week in…

Spelling/Grammar: I am going to start posting the spelling list for the week to my blog (see Spelling page on the left). Some of your children may have a modified spelling list from Mrs. Burns so check your child’s agenda for their words as well. In grammar we will be talking about common and proper nouns.

Reading: We will continue practicing our reading stamina and learning new CAFE strategies.

Writing: The students will continue working on their personal narratives.

Social Studies/Science: We will take our Economics test on Tuesday. On Monday, we will begin our Science unit on Water and Weather!

Math: We will begin learning how to do the standard algorithm for addition (woohoo, you’re welcome parents!). Please help your child with this concept as it is a new concept for most of them.

If you haven’t already, please sign up for Remind. This is a simple, easy, and convenient way for me to send you quick text updates and reminders about what is going on in our class. I will attach the letter that was sent home at Sneak-A-Peek but all you have to do is text @b99c7 to the number 81010.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I am so blessed to be able to spend my days with your precious children. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please do not ever hesitate to contact me!
