Wow! This was truly a great week getting to know, and growing with, my fourth grade class! One thing for sure, we love books!! The class was captivated with each and every book that we read in connection to our different subjects!
Last week, we learned about:
Math: We practiced rounding numbers to ten, hundreds and thousands; identified patterns in place value to one million, and practiced writing numbers in standard form, word form and expanded form.
Social Studies: We began our Economics Unit this week. We learned about scarcity and how people must make choices when they produce or consume goods or services. There are many vocabulary terms to learn and understand, but we are taking it in chunks.
Writing Workshop: We are preparing for our upcoming personal narrative writing piece by generating lists of special people, places, and strong emotions. We are reading many example stories and are preparing to apply them to our story mountains.
Reading Workshop: We created realistic reading goals, discussed how to pick a “just right” book, and began our reading log.
