 Hello All,

In our Math Rotations this week we have been working on: 

Mental Math: In this rotation, students have been working independently on their Mental Math Book called “Place Value.” 

At the Teacher’s Desk: In this rotation, students have been working on their assigned pages in their “Go Math” workbooks, Addition and Subtraction Within 1,000 and Multiplying by 1-Digit Numbers

Technology: In this rotation, students have been working on their “Go Math/Think Central” assignments or IXL on their Chromebooks. 

Have Fun With Games/Red Bin Work: In this rotation, students have been working on assigned pages in their workbooks or worksheets on various addition/subtraction skills or answering fact fluency questions in order to take their turn in the games played on Fun Fridays.

The standards that were used were: 3.MD.B.3, 3.NBT.A.2, 3.0A.D.8, 4.NBT.B.5

In Social Studies we have been working on using cardinal and intermediate directions to describe the relative location of significant places in the United States. Identify and describe the characteristics and purposes (e.g., measure distance, determine relative location, classify a region) of a variety of geographic tools and technologies (e.g., globe, map, satellite image). Use geographic tools and technologies, stories, songs, and pictures to answer geographic questions about the United States, using maps to describe elevation, climate, and patterns of population density in the United States and using maps to describe elevation, climate, and patterns of population density in the United States.

The standards that were used were:  4.G1.0.5

Thank you,

This week in ELA we worked on picking out the most important parts of fiction stories to write a summary about them. We started a new spelling unit and wrote about our fall break in our journals. In reading groups we also practiced giving summaries of stories we read aloud and silently. Standards covered: RL.3.1-10, RI.3.1-10, RF.3.3-4, RL.4.1-10, RI.4.1-10, RF.4.3-4 In Science this week we continued to work on our bat projects. We researched some myths about bats and proved them wrong by finding out the real facts. Next week we are going to start making some brochures that will teach others about the importance of bats and why we should want them around. We raised $169.50 from our bake sale to buy bat house kits. These kits were ordered this week and should arrive in 7-10 days. Once they are here I will plan a day to assemble them. We will need some parent volunteers on this day, since the kits will involve a hammer and nails to assemble. Stay tuned for a sign up if you would like to help! Standards covered: W.3.7, W.4.7, SL.3.3, SL.4.3, 3-LS2-1, 3-LS4-3 -Ms. Jamie
