What a great week!

Next Week:

Reading – Next week we will be working on connections: text to text, text to world, and text to self.

Writing – Next week we will begin story writing.

Math – We will be working on data and probability. Even though we are moving on from multiplication for the time being PLEASE make sure your child is still working with flash cards at home. The assessment we took this week will come home today. As you will see there are still facts they are struggling to learn. I will be putting some computer games on the blog this weekend, maybe that will be incentive!

Social Studies – Missouri is a big part of fourth grade! Next week we will work on learning the regions of Missouri and study maps of Missouri.


Homework: Please watch for highlighted notes in the assignment book next week. Our math is fluctuating quite a bit right now so I am not sure of the exact days we will have homework. I will stress to the students it must be highlighted!
