Happy October!

Good evening! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I know that I was busy enjoying the wonderful, but pretty chilly, fall days. This is going to be a different week in 4^th grade since we do not have school on Wednesday, October 8^th. Here is a look at what we will be doing this week:

Peek at the Week

Math: On Monday, we will do one more day of learning and using different multiplication strategies. On Tuesday, we will start working on Unit 3, which deals with exploring multiplication even further.

Social Studies: This week we will be working on the Western States. We have had such a blast learning about the United States, and I can’t wait to see how these new states go. While studying the states this week, we are going to also be learning more about the practice of summarizing to relay information.

Language Arts/Grammar: This week we will continue to work on the summarizing strategy. Word study will be entering the next unit. I have been very impressed with how Word Study has increased our vocabulary and our writing skills. It is fun to see!

Writing: We will continue to work on personal narratives. With this, we will also spend part of our writing time working on using and adding vigorous verbs into our writing.

Need to Knows

·         There is NO SCHOOL this Wednesday, October 8^th. Enjoy your day!

·         Homework Room will continue to take place this week from 7:30-8:00 am

·         Now that the weather is starting to become a bit chilly, make sure you are sending your student to school with jackets/coats/hats/gloves/etc. I just want to make sure everyone is staying nice and warm while they are out in the mornings and at recess.

I hope you all have a great week. I will be posting some helpful sites on the blog tomorrow hopefully. Remember to check the blog throughout the week and email me if you have any questions.
