Mrs. Van Camp's Newsletter
Welcome Back to the 2017-2018 School Year!
Fourth Grade is SUPER!
Please visit Kingston Elementary's school website at http://www.kingstonk12.org/elementary.html. Here you will find school events, my homeroom page (http://mrsgowardsclass.weebly.com/), handouts, and other important announcements. Our class website has several helpful websites including our McGraw-Hill Reading site, Think Central Math, and Michigan Studies Weekly pages. On these pages I often assign tasks that enrich learning at home. I hope this will be a useful tool throughout the school year.
Saving the day one fourth grader at a time...
Working on building our classroom rules.
Superhero!
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING...
Homework: Students have homework this week starting with their math/reading log as well as some math worksheets. All homework may be redone for a better grade with the except of true/false or yes/no questions as well as quizzes and tests.
Math: We started Chapter 1 on place value, addition, and subratction to one million. Please go over nightly homework to make sure your child is grasping the ideas. Also, please sit down with them when fixing homework. They greatly benefit from that one-on-one time with you.
Social Studies: Students are learning about Deomcracy in America. We are comparing other countries' governments to ours discussing monarchies and dictatorships.
Writing: Fourth graders are learning the components of friendly letters and starting their own letter. They are taking a challenging experience of funny story from their lives and writing to a loved one about it.
Science: In science we have started with a Mystery Science lesson called, "Why do Plants Flower?" This week students made, and polinated, their own flowers.
