I would like to thank everyone that helped with our Fall Festival. We had lots of fun. If you would like to see the pictures, please visit our Shutterfly page at https://4thgraderocksatjbe.shutterfly.com/.
I would also like to thank Jennifer Guss for coming in to teach us about positive and negative space in art.
We will have another Early Release this Wednesday. Students will be dismissed at 1:30.
In math this week we will begin working on our strategies for solving division problems. In fourth grade students will have problems with one-digit divisors and up to a four-digit dividend. Students will solve problems with and without remainders. Students will learn the following strategies:
According to our standard students will not be taught the long division algorithm. Students will not learn or be responsible for the algorithm until 6th grade. I recognize that some students know how to use the algorithm as a compromise students will be allowed to use the algorithm when working on math superstars questions.
This week in science we will take a test on chapter 4 lessons 3 and 5 on Wednesday. The test will focus on measuring matter (mass and volume) and changes in matter. Matter choices will be due next Friday. Be on the look out for an email with the matter choice directions for anyone needing to finish up at home. Our next unit of study will be energy.
In social studies we will continue our study of the election process. Students will learn about how candidates are chosen during the primary process. Students will also be working on an essay about what they would do if they were President. Students will be bringing their writing home to share it with you. Feel free to help them edit their work for content and grammatical mistakes. Their final drafts will be our next hallway display.
Have a GREAT week,
Aesha
