4th Grade IS The Place To Be!
Readers Workshop: This week we talked about how 4th graders "Level Up" their responses to reading and we even had a debate! The students found out how important it is to have evidence to back up your thinking to prove your point!
Up Next: We'll be finishing The Tiger Rising and work through the unit 1 post-assessment on developing ideas about characters.
Math: We are working through unit 2 and learning more about multiplication processes, estimation with multiplication and talking about our math processes. Please make sure your child is working on their X-tra Math for 10 minutes each night!
Writers Workshop: We're publishing our Realistic Fiction Pieces!
WtW: New Sort Next Week! (Your child can show you his/her score on their sort from this week!)
Science: We practiced the Scientific process through an activity called "Saving Sam!" The students worked with a partner to devise a plan to get sam (the gummy worm) to safety! They all had so much fun with this!
