Having Fun in Fourth Grade!

I hope that everyone is enjoying this nice fall weather! We have been busy in fourth grade learning lots of new concepts!

• In ELA, we are continuing to read There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom. The class continues to buddy read this book, or listen to it being read out loud. We have been practicing making inferences using this book, along with our read aloud book Holes. Students have also been learning how to determine the main idea and details of short passages. The class continues to practice paragraphing. We started writing an essay about special people. 
• In social studies, the class has just started to learn about the Algonquian and Iroquois. We will spend the next couple of weeks learning about similarities and differences between these two tribes, as well as how they used the natural resources of NYS to survive. 
• In math, we just started unit 3, which focuses on place value. The class had a unit 2 assessment last week, and they are working on corrections. We have been cycling  through math stations, and working on our fact fluency. We will have a multiplication facts quiz on Friday.
