Mrs. Moore's Class Weekly Update
May 2-6, 2016
MATH
Unit 7 works a lot with multiplying unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by mixed numbers. We do this in a variety of different capacities, but mostly in the form of word problems. Students are encouraged to reread the problems and make sure they know what information is given and what questions they are trying to answer. The word problems we are doing are multi-step word problems so they require a lot of steps to solve.
LITERACY
We are working on two literacy units, Historical Fiction and Poetry. We are exploring the different elements of historical fiction in reading while reading some books from that genre. In writing, we are exploring different types of poetry. The students are writing their own poetry collection to eventually turn into a Young Author's Day book.
SCIENCE/ SOCIAL STUDIES
In Science, we started our Life Cycles unit. We began with studying the concept of Living vs. Non-Living and animal mouth adaptations. We have moved into the human body and different body systems.
In Social Studies, we are studying 5 regions of the United States. We are doing a round robin so each fourth grade teacher will be teaching one region for two days to your child. This is in preparation for our big Regional Project coming up.
