Fourth Grade Happenings
Week of May 2nd
Comprehension Strategy: Making Judgements
We will finish off the year with one more unit in reading! Hard to believe! Over the past few weeks, I have seen an excitement for reading flourish in some of the kids! I hope that they see that creating goals each day will help them to finish a book and that they
know how to be a thinker while they read.
Math:
Unit 7-Fractions.... a lot of our fraction knowledge will resurface as we review fraction concepts. If I feel that a lesson is not worth teaching because it is too much of a review and no application, I will improvise and you will not see the usual Everday Math Homework that night.
Social Studies:
We will begin our study of our final region-the West! Quiz over ALL 50 states on 5/12.
For this test, they will receive a blank map of the US and will have to put the abbreviations in each state. They will also have to match the states and capitals.

MAP Testing
We will test on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Please make sure, more than usual, that your child goes to bed at a good time and has a nutritious breakfast. I do not want them to feel any anxiety about this test, but I do want them to know that it is very important to do their best as these scores are looked at for various placements in 5th Grade. :)
To do list:
- Symphony field trip permission and $7 by May 5th
Optional:
- School Picnic RSVP by May 6th
- Cardinal Game
