Happy Fourth Quarter!
In language arts, we are learning about Immigration, reading two novels about immigrant children. In science we are studying about the scientific method and beginning to plan for the fourth grade science fair.
In math we are comparing, adding and subtracting fractions.
We will continue to develop our word attack skills by reading articles in the Storyworks magazine.
If you write your basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts 3 x each and you will earn 10 tickets when you give them to me. Fourth grade spelling lists are based on individual readiness levels. Your spelling lists will either be available on my spellingcity.com webpage or your homeroom teacher's webpage. The third quarter spelling homework will be to put your words in sentences.The sentences must be complete, with at least 5 words in the sentence and everything must be spelling correctly.
We have a Lucky Listener Club which develops reading fluency. Every Monday you will receive a new Lucky Listener Passage. You will read to at least five people throughout the week with the focus of reaching 100% accuracy, developing expression, appropriate pace, pausing and intonation.If you are having trouble earning your AR points towards your goal, I have writing activities that you can complete and hand in to earn 1 point for every activity completed correctly.
See me for ideas.Mrs. Moyer
