November 30th-December 4th

This week in reading we will be discussing connections between oral and visual presentations of a story. We will be reading the BFG Play and Where the Wild Things Are. Then, we will watch video clips of each and looking for connections. Our spelling will be Sort 29. Students need to do 20 points and turn them in on Friday. Students need to fill out a reading log for this week and turn it in on Monday as well. For last week, students only needed to fill in for Monday and Tuesday.

This week in writing we will be continuing our persuasive/opinion unit. We will begin a letter trying to persuade Mr. Campbell to or not to give us a Pajama Day just for the 4^th grade. These will be due on Monday, December 14^th when we will read them and pick 1 person to read their letter to Mr. Campbell. Students Turkey Letters were due last week so if they have not been turned in, they need to be finished at home and turned in.

This week in math we will be continuing to learn about place value. We will do some reviewing and learn how to rename numbers. This tends to be a hard concept for students. Here is an example. If I have 1,000 ones, it is the same as 100 tens, or 10 hundreds.

This week in social studies we will continue our recreation presentations. We will finish them and present them to the class. We are taking Quiz 1 for counties at the beginning of this week. My class will take Quiz 2 on Friday and Mrs. Ditto’s class will take it next Monday. Here is a copy of that quiz for you to help your students study.
