What are we learning?
Math
Year In Review
We have now completed all of the required curriculum for fourth grade math! We will be reviewing a topic a day in an effort to refresh our memories of all of the amazing, challenging concepts we've learned throughout the year.
***Please work on multiplication facts at home. The more fluent your child is with their facts the better off they will be throughout the year as we learn new concepts. Learning multiplication facts is like learning sight words when you first learn to read. We want your child to become very fluent with their math facts this year. This will help them as we get to some very daunting word problems later this year. They will not have to stop each time to solve and be able to keep reading for understanding.
Fun links to help with facts:
Reading and Writing
READING & WRITING
We will continue looking at non-fiction texts. We will review the following concepts: text structure, author's purpose, summary, point of view and dramas. We are also emphasizing the fact that students need to slow down when reading and working so that they perform to their potential! Please see the attached power point for an example on how students should TRAPP their answers.
