This week in fourth grade:
In science we built our Ecocolumns! Thank you to all of the amazing parent helpers! All fourth graders are so excited about this engaging project. It has been fun to observe the Ecocolumns and see how they change. Expect your child's Ecocolumn to come home on Thursday October 4th. If your child bikes or scooters to school, they will need a ride home on Thursday in order to transport the Ecocolumn.
In math we continued to learn different strategies for multiplication. We worked through many multi-step problems and are learning so much! Keep practicing those basic facts at home! Keep working on the nightly homework too, you are all doing a great job with turning in math homework. A study guide for the Chapter 2 multiplication test will come home NEXT Friday. The test will be the following week.
In reading we worked to make an interpretation about the book we're reading. We used the characters, setting, mood, feelings, recurring objects, and important events to come to an understanding about the book. We will be finishing The Tiger Rising next week. I continue to be amazed by the way these students can intensely read and think.
Have a great weekend! Go East!
