Math Workshop:
We have completed our 3rd grade math curriculum! Therefore, we will preview the first math unit of 4th grade which is place value. Students will need to know how to read, write and say correctly large numbers (up to the million’s place) in standard, word and expanded form.
Reading Workshop:
Due to Tuesday's Reading Celebration and Wednesday and Thursday's District Assessment testing, our reading workshop time has been cut short. Students will be able to read for enjoyment as time allows throughout this week.
Writing Workshop:
Students will publish their final copy of their narrative writing assignment. Their creative story should include dialogue, problem, solution, transition words, and a well thought out beginning, middle and end. Their story will count as their unguided narrative writing grade in the areas of ideas, style, organization and conventions.
