Math 4:
Students in Ms. Hudson's math class will be learning about patterns in multiplication. We will review fact families and practice our basic math facts. Students are expected to know their multiplication facts up to 12 in the fourth grade. We will also examine picture/shape patterns and numeric patterns that are both increasing and decreasing.
Social Studies:
November 1 marks the first week of social studies for grade 4. We will have social studies for quarters 1 & 2. We will begin our study by examining three different types of maps: physical, political, and thematic. Look for a map project to be sent home on Thursday, November 3. Students will create their own map including all elements (Green & Blue Kissing TOADS) due November 16.
Reading:
We will focus on reading nonfiction text to make inferences. We will read a book called Earthquakes to infer what happens to both people and the land during an earthquake.
We will also work in small groups on retelling strategies: 5 finger, Somebody Wanted But So, and Beginning, Middle & End strategies.
Literature Cirlce work is due November 2. Students will then meet in groups to assign new roles and a due date.
Writing:
Students are continuing their pieces from quarter one. Most students are in the revision stage of their work. Look for our final copies by the end of this month!
Spelling:
Most students will continue the prefix spelling pattern. Look for sort 4 to come home Tuesday. Students lists will come home on Wednesday. Spelling test will be on November 11.
This week's prefixes are:
pre- (under)
com- (with)
