Welcome to 4th Grade

Hi Everyone,

     I am so excited that a new school year is about to start!! I can't wait to get know everyone.

     Each week on this page I will update you on what we will cover in math, science, and social studies. I will also let you know about upcoming school events. This page will also let you know about upcoming assessments and when projects are due. Keeping up with homework assignments will come home in your child's agenda. By accessing the pages of the blog you can also see the vocabulary that your child will be completing in their journals for science and social studies.
  
     This week in math we will begin working on Module 1 which is about place value. This week we will learn how a digit in one place is 10 times the place the right. For example, it takes 10 ones to equal 1 ten. 10 tens is equal to 1 hundred. We will also work on the different forms numbers can take (standard form, unit form, expanded form and word form).

     This week in science we will learn how scientists do their work. We will learn about the different types of investigations that scientists perform. Students will also begin to understand what the scientific method is and that even though scientist use it in their work it does not follow a rigid order. 

     This week we will not work on social studies. We will begin that work next week.  

Have a wonderful week,
Ms. Johnson
