This week in reading we will be learning about the structure of stories. We are also going to be learning how to Close Read. This is where we read the same passage multiple times and look for different things as we read. This week we will begin doing reading logs for our homework. Students are to read 20 minutes each night. Monday thru Friday, students are to fill out a pink reading log for the minutes they read. Students will receive this reading log on Mondays and they will be due the following Monday. Please help make sure that you student reads each night, fills out their reading log, and turns it in to me the following Monday.
This week in writing we are starting our personal narrative. Students will be writing a story about something that happened to them. We will talk about what a good story is, all the parts in a good story, and how to write a good story.
This week in math we will start working on our multiplication facts. We have been reviewing addition and subtraction and will now practice our multiplication facts. We will discuss different strategies for solving multiplication problems and we will make some flash cards. Please practice multiplication facts with your student. It is essential that students have these memorized before we move on.
This week in social studies we will be talking about geography. We will learn about maps, lines of longitude and latitude, and will practice finding places on maps using those lines and their degrees.
This Thursday is Back to School Night. Please come and learn a bit about how our class and 4th grade will run this year. Also, we will be doing Road to Success again this year. Coming home in Tuesday envelopes will be a ticket with the code you need to register your student. Please follow the directions on it to register and help your student to log the minutes they read this year. They have the chance to win prizes as they log their minutes on Road to Success.
I'm so excited to work with your student this year! Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything.
