 Hello All,

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

Mental Math: In this rotation, students have been working on their assigned pages in their “Go Math” workbooks, Multiplication Facts and Strategies AND Multiply 2-Digit Numbers AND Divide by 1-Digit Numbers.

At the Teacher’s Desk: In this rotation, students have been working creating their Math Games with their Math Groups.

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 playing games with their Math Group 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.OA.C.7,3.OA.A.34.NF.A.1, 4.NF.A.2

In Social Studies we have been working on explaining how changes in the United States economy impacts levels of employment and unemployment (e.g., changing demand for natural resources, changes in technology, changes in competition).

Describe how global competition affects the national economy (e.g., outsourcing of jobs, increased supply of goods, opening new markets, quality controls). Also we have been working on explaining why public goods (e.g., libraries, roads, parks) are not privately owned. Explain how the federal government uses taxing and spending to serve the purposes of government.

The standards that were used were: 4.C3.0.7, 4. E1.0.8, 4.E3.0.1

Thank you,

Ms. Chantel

This week in ELA, we continued on in our Folktale unit and read a few Pourquoi stories. Pourquois tells about how something came to be from long ago. Ask me about what the stories were about this week! We also finished up our spelling units and will start a new list next week. We completed reading checks and have moved on to new levels in each group also! :)  Standard covered: RL.3.2, RL.3.3, Rl.4.2, RL.4.3, RL.4.6 This week in science, we continued with our earth systems unit. We learned about the 4 spheres; geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. We were able to go outside and draw what we saw in the environment around us and classify each object by which sphere they belong to. We also talked about how these spheres interact together. We started to also learn about plate tectonics and how our earth is constructed. We will continue with this next week.  Standards covered: 4-ESS1-1, 4-ESS2-1-2 -Ms. Jamie
