Grade 4
Weekly Newsletter
September 24 - September 28, 2018
Language Arts
In writing, students will be working on their evidence to support their reasons and building stamina to write long and strong! In reading, students will notice how texts are organized in order to help them gain more information while reading.
Math
The students will continue to use rounding to determine if an answer is reasonable. They will solve multi-step word problems and assess the reasonableness of answers. Students will also be learning how to solve two step word problems using the standard algorithm for addition and subtraction.
Social Studies
Students will be using what they learned about the different cultural universals to help them collect information about their own personal culture. This is not necessarily the culture of their home country, but more the culture that is practiced in their everyday lives. Students will also be working on their identity posters as well.
Announcements
