CLASSROOM NOTES & REMINDERS

March Reading Challenge information has been sent home! The reading challenge takes place from March 5th (today) through March 30th. All students in 4th grade are already required to read 4 days a week for homework, so this challenge should not be too much of a stretch. Please encourage your child to participate!

Last week, 4th grade begin working on procedural writing. Each student is responsible or writing a procedure for something that is able to be done in the classroom. Some of the topics include making special snacks, washing hands, and making paper airplanes. This Friday, the 4th graders will be sharing their procedures with each other. It is their responsibility to get any needed materials. Please check in with your child to make sure they have their supplies ready!

Math –We are really making great progress with our addition and subtraction of numbers to 10,000. We have been focusing on strategies that help us get started with challenging problems. Students have been using number lines, landmark numbers, and thousand books.

Word Study- We will finish up our unit on long vowel sounds this week. The unit helped us think about the idea of long vowel sounds at the begging, middle, and end of words. As we move into our next unit, we will focus on long vowel sounds created by the silent e, as in ride.
