News from Fourth Grade
December 7 - December 11
What's Happening???
Reading
This week we will be starting our fiction unit. We will begin by talking about different types of fiction (realistic fiction, traditional literature, and folktales) and how to distinguish between them. We will also be discussing what point of view a story is told from (1st person, 3rd person) and the way fiction texts are usually structured (chronologically).
Remember students should be recording their 30 minutes of reading every night on their home reading log and turning it in every Friday!
Math
This week we will be working on multi-step word problems that have remainders and how to write an equation to represent a word problem . Students will be working daily through a rotation of four stations (independent work, hands on activity, technology practice, teacher group). Students will also be working daily on math facts practice.
Writing
Students will be taking their Unit 2 On-Demand Assessment on Tuesday, December 15th and Wednesday, December 16th.
