Happy Friday!! We have had a busy, busy week in fourth grade!
Writing: This week in writing he have been working on generating ideas for our next writing piece, essays! Many of the kids have chosen to write about family members, vacation spots, or special objects. We wrote our thesis statement and began working on collecting reasons to support our theses.
Reading: During reading this week, we are working on strategies we can use when reading nonfiction. We learned that nonfiction reading can be difficult but if we get ready to read the text beforehand it can be fun! We have also been talking about how we can find the main idea and supporting details in a nonfiction text.
Social Studies: We worked on our map of Missouri this week! The kids had a great time making their maps, labeling the border states, and painting the maps. We will finish labeling them next week and then they will be sent home with the kids. They had a great time doing this project.
Math: In math this week we started Chapter 4. In this chapter we learned about multiples, estimation, and also talked about two different strategies we can use when multiplying. I sent home flashcards with each of the kids this week. They should practice these a couple of times a week in order to become more fluent with their fact recall. :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Miss DiFranco
