The Fourth Marking Period
Reading and Writing
During the fourth marking period, fourth graders will continue to engage in choral, echo, and partner reading to build comprehension and fluency. They will continue to respond orally to comprehension questions and will respond to some questions in writing. Students will read a biography and a variety of fiction and nonfiction texts. Students will continue to interact with a variety of texts through an interactive read-aloud facilitated by the teacher, partner, or independent reading.
Students will engage in opinion writing and responding to a variety of text based questions through shared and modeled writing lessons. They will complete a culminating opinion assignment related to their favorite book.
Math
In the last marking period, students will focus on converting measurements from larger to smaller units within one system of measurement. These measurements will involve customary units of length, capacity, weight, and time, as well as metric units of length, capacity, and mass. Students will also solve real-world problems involving rectangles by applying area and perimeter formulas. Students will also focus on patterns and rules using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division rules. They will examine terms of the patterns and describe the features they observed. Lastly, students will develop a deep understanding of angle concepts and angle measurement, as well as how shapes can be analyzed, described, and classified using the properties of sides, angles, and lines of symmetry.
Social Studies
In Unit 3, students will learn how Maryland developed, changed, and grew from its early days up through 1860. Students will investigate historic documents, the impact of war, and the interactions between people in that time period. In Unit 4, students will learn about Maryland's contemporary government and economy to understand how we live and function as a state today. Topics will include the impact of the Civil War, the branches of government in Maryland, and technology's impact on our economy.
