I hope everyone has been enjoying their three day weekend! I know I have been able to get things done around the house. This Wednesday the 16th, is Family Fitness Night at 5pm-6pm and a PTSA Meeting at 6pm. The following Tuesday the 22nd, is Yogurtini Night. Also we have more days off in Septemeber, Wednesday the 23rd - Friday the 25th. Mark your calendars!
Math: The chapter test on adding and subtracting with whole numbers (4.NBT.4) is on Wednesday! Tuesday we will do a review and the students will have extra homework. It will be from their MyMath Book pages 113-114 due back on Wednesday. I am assigning this to prepare them for the chapter test.
On Thursday we will start a new chapter about factors and multiples (4.OA.4). Once the students have a learned this concept they will be creating a project in school about the concept. They will be assigned a number and have to find the factors and multiple of that number, as well as definitions. This project will be take us to September22nd. Once they are finished they will present and take the test. I have also updated the Math Resources page on the blog to include games about 4.OA.4. They will have opportunities to play them in class, but they can always play them at home. This are games I have played myself, therefore they will be reinforcing the concept.
Reading: In StoryTown we are reading the same story from last week, since they are both shorter. The focus skills are historical fiction and subject and predicate. The Reading/Writing has been updated with educational games about subjects and predicates.
S.S.: On Wednesday September 16th, we are having a guest speaker come in to talk about Constitution Day (which is Thursday).
Love,
