Here Comes Fall...

Hello, Families!
It is hard to believe that you have 3 weeks of fourth grade under your belt already! As you have felt, 4th grade is fast paced and requires your student to stay on top of his/her game! Not only are we focusing on content, but we are also striving to become a kind, responsible, honest community. This doesn't happen naturally--it takes some practice. There is a lot happening in Room 27! Ask your child what's happening at school, if they respond with, "Nothing," keep asking!
This week we will continue to learn strategies to improve our ability to add and subtract money. We will also begin to review multiplication. Please start reviewing the multiplication facts at home, as well.
The scientists in our room will continue to observe and research Green Anoles. We will focus on predators, prey, food chains and food webs. I have added a website that will help students practice creating food chains. There are several games for math and science on the site--check it out!
Continue to read at home. Ask your child about their reading, or better yet, sit down and listen to them read outloud. The kids love to chat about their reading and thinking!
We are going to polish our sentence writing skills this week. Please look at homework and be sure students have written their answers in complete sentences.
Thanks for checking in on our website! Pictures coming soon!
