We are off to a fantastic start. I am so happy with the homework and classwork that are coming in. It is clear to me that many parents are checking these assignments and I appreciate your time and effort.
We will be continuing our study of Place Value in math next week with comparing and ordering, rounding, and problem solving. This is sometimes a hard unit for fourth graders. We will continue working on it throughout the year.
In Reading Workshop we will be starting a genre study. We will be looking at the different types of writing for their characteristics and purpose. This will be a two week study.
Our focus in Writing Workshop will be on entries - different types, how to come up with ideas, and stamina. Your writer will be writing entries at home for homework next week as well as in class.
Our Social Studies work will continue to focus on geography but turn to New York State specifics. We will be looking at rivers, lakes, and making large NYS maps.
I am very much looking forward to meeting you on TUESDAY night at Open House!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
