Language Arts

In Language Arts, we will continue learning how to understand the different structures in non-fiction texts. We will be reading non-fiction books to be able to recognize the different text structures.

Math

This week in math, we will represent and estimate division problems.

Represent and solve for the quotient of up to a four-digit whole number divided by a one-digit whole number using arrays, area models, or equations.
Use strategies including the standard algorithm to divide up to a four digit dividend by a one digit divisor.
Estimate the quotient of a division problem.

Next week in math, we will continue working on division and focus on interpreting reminders and the strategies we have learned.

Solve and represent with fluency one- and two-step problems involving division, including interpreting remainders.
Read a division story problem and analyze the problem to interpret the remainder.

iPads

TCE 4th graders should come to school each day with their iPad and charger. Please ensure your child charges his/her iPad each evening. Your child should also check periodically to ensure his/her iPad's software is up to date (settings --> general --> software update).
Learners will continue filling in a "Charge Bank" to keep track of their daily iPad battery charge. We hope this helps learners to become responsible for making sure their iPad is fully charged and in their backpacks each morning. Below, is the daily tracker they will fill out each morning when they arrive to school.

Please remember school issued iPads are for school use only. We do random iPad checks every few weeks. We reminded the students daily that school issued iPads are not for personal photography, books, or communicating with friends or parents via emails or chats, or watching videos on you tube that were not assigned by their teacher. It would help us out if you could reinforce this home.
