My class is having a very full week. Our mornings are full of lessons on cause and effect, guided reading groups and stations. In math we are working on multiplication. We are continuing to learn how to use the all-partials method of multiplication. We are also focusing on how to use estimation in everyday life as well as trying to get everyone to pass their multiplication and division timed tests. Please keep working on these skills at home.
In science we are starting our unit on electricity and magnetism. Students will be learning how to light a light bulb, make a circuit, wire a circuit with a switch, and eventually wire their own house. When the houses are finished you will all be invited to our open house!
Other important events coming up ...
Friday, January 16th - Illustrator and author Brad Sneed will be visiting the fourth grade
Thursday, January 22nd - Students will tour Body Venture, as well as attend Slice of Agriculture field trip. Due to an early lunch time in order to leave for the field trip we will be eating lunch in the classroom. Students are encouraged to bring a lunch on this day, but are not required to, and can purchase a lunch in the lunchroom.
Reading State Assessments will be give March 2, 3, and 5th. Math State Assessments will be given the following week on the 10th, 11th, and 12th. Please make sure your kids are at school on these days.
Monday, March 9th - 4th grade will be going to the Lied Center to see a play.
Monday Homework - Students need to study spelling. My math class has page 205-206 #1-13.
Tuesday Homework - Students need to study for the spelling test which is tomorrow. There are two work science worksheets that also need to be completed - one is a vocabulary preview for the chapter, while the other is a cause and effect worksheet. This sheet will help reinforce the skills we are working on in reading groups. My math class also needs to do problems #13-18 on page 209. Have the students estimate the answer by choosing convenient numbers to use, and then also find the exact answer.
