Week of 11/13




Hi Everyone,

     This week we will participate in our Colonial Kids Festival.  Students will learn what life was like for kids during colonial days. If you haven't already done so please send in $5 cash to pay for materials that they kids will use during the festival. Parents are welcomed to attend to help facilitate the activities. If you would like to help please meet in room 209 on Thursday morning at 8:00.

     This week in math we will begin learning division strategies. Our 4th grade standard has students finding whole‐number quotients and remainders with up to four digit dividends and one‐digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models. Strategies that students will be learning are multiplying up, area models, the distributive property, and partial quotients. Students will not be learning the long division algorithm.

 This week in science we will finish up our work on matter. The test was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but has been changed to Friday. After finishing chapter 4 we will move on to chapter 5, energy.

     This week in social studies students will complete chapter 3. Students will take the test on chapter 3 the week after the Thanksgiving holiday.
