Week of September 14, 2020

 Happy Monday Everyone,

     I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. 

   Students are bringing home their Home-to-School Folders today. The folder is red and students should have it either in their trapper or backpack. This folder will come home on the first day of the school week. Inside the folder you will find graded work. The papers are yours to keep unless your child needs to complete a grade recovery activity. Grade recovery is a process where students can recover points missed on assessments. For math and science the points recovered should bring their score up to a passing grade. Grade recovery happens when a student earns a grade of 69 and below. The directions for the recovery will be stapled to the assignment. Students are allowed to use their math and science journals and science book while completing the work.. Once students complete the work they bring it back to school and turn it to the designated basket in their classroom. Once I regrade it, the score will be updated in Focus. The red folder should come back to school as soon as possible so that work for the next week can be added.

Module 1 Math Test

     This week in math we will continue our work with the addition and subtraction algorithm. Students may need additional practice with subtracting across zeros when regrouping is needed. We will also work solving multi-step word problems. We will end the week learning how to find the missing digit in algorithm problems (see the example below)

    304,822

+ 48  ,684

  791,506    In this problem students would need to figure out the missing digit in the thousands place. In problems like these the regrouping (carrying) is deliberately left off. The answer is 6. 

     A parent asked me about the standards in an email so I thought that I would share with everyone, The 4th grade standards can be accessed by visiting:   http://www.fldoe.org/academics/standards/subject-areas/math-science/mathematics. On the site you can visit a parent section. The teacher version of the standards can be found at: http://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/12087/urlt/G4_Mathematics_Florida_Standards.pdf

Here is a list of our modules and content

Module 1 place value and addition/subtraction

Module 2 metric measurement conversions

Module 3 factors/multiples, primes/composite, area and perimeter, multiplication/division, customary measurement conversions

Module 4 geometry

Module 5 fractions

Module 6 decimals

Module 7 measurement conversion review

     This week in science we will finish unit 1 with a study of lesson 4, What kinds of models do scientists use? Students will have homework on Brain Pop. This year students will access Brain Pop through the Blended Learning drop down menu on One View/Duval Homeroom. It can also be accessed on the Student Software page. We will also have homework on HMH Science page/Your Friend Ed. We will take a science test for unit 1 on this Friday. The test will cover the material from unit 1 in our science book. The test will be 22 multiple choice questions. 

Monday: Science: Complete Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr. assignment.

Tuesday: Science: Complete Digital Lessons for Lessons 1 and 2 on Your Friend Ed

Wednesday: Science: Complete Unit 1 Study Guide (Test is Friday)

Thursday: Math: Complete homework sheet for lessons 16 and 18
