                 Language Arts
In ELAR, we are getting close to finishing our novel The Tiger Rising. We have enjoyed getting to know all the special characters in this story as we apply all the reading strategies  we are learning such as character traits, plot and summarizing. We will continue to focus on summarizing and point of view this week. 

In spelling we will be looking at words with the Vowel constant e pattern (Vce). In grammar we will continue to review parts of speech. 

In writing, we will continue our narrative fiction writing piece. We will focus on plotting out our story line ( plot)  and hooking the reader.

Math
In math this week, we will continue our unit covering place value of whole numbers. In 4th grade, we will  

  • Solve single and multi-step problems involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers.

  • Read and interpret story problems and use models to solve them.

  • Represent problems involving addition & subtraction of whole numbers.


 Next week in math, we will look at determining products x10, x100, and representing multiplication.
  • Determine products of a number being multiplied by 10 or 100 using my understanding of place value.
  • Represent the product of 2-digit numbers using arrays, area models, or equations, including perfect squares through 15 by 15.
  • Interpret visuals of multiplication problems and develop an equation to match.

In Social Studies this week, we will continue our research on the Regions of Texas. We will finish our final project on the regions and  we will end the week with our first 
Mind Mission Activity!

Background Checks

We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check at the start of the year. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone complete one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dad's Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete it.
