It was a pleasure to meet with you all during our Parent Teacher Conferences by way of Zoom. I enjoyed sharing about your child’s learning and life in our fourth grade classroom. I am so pleased by the great participation we had by our families! Thank you for all your support and for taking the time to visit!
Here’s what we’ve been studying in Fourth Grade!
Math: We completed our Unit 2 studies and final assessment just in time before our change to remote learning. The children learned and practiced multiple methods in multiplication (Place Values Sections Method, Expanded Notation Method, Algebraic Notation Method, and the Shortcut Method). These have helped us to multiply 2-digit, 3-digit, and even 4-digit numbers!!
Writing Workshop: Due to the modified calendar and change to remote learning, we will continue and work to close our lessons on Realistic Fiction with review this coming week. We have learned and applied so much regarding what to think about and include in our narrative writing for both our Realistic Fiction and Personal Narrative writings. We will apply all that we know to create another piece and close out the unit with a final narrative piece to publish. I can’t wait to read them!
Reading Workshop: We have enjoyed learning how to read non-fiction text, how to decipher the set-up, headings, and recognized different types of text features within this kind of reading. We are eager and ready to take our knowledge to the next step by researching a specific type of severe weather!
