2nd Nine Weeks

We are well into our 2nd nine weeks of school, and the students are working really hard and learning lots of new things! Below you will find what we are working on in each subject and some websites that go along with some of the topics :)

Math - Students should continue to study their multiplication facts if they do not know them. It is imperative that they know them fluently because they are the building blocks of most of the topics covered in 4th grade math. We will continue to work on long division and then move onto angles, geometry and coordinates before the winter break.

Language Arts - Please make sure that your child is reading each night for at least 20 minutes. We will continue reading fiction/nonfiction texts and discussing story elements and text features. In writing we are working on writing a realistic short story and a response to literature. We are also working on identifying nouns and verbs, quotation marks and types of sentences.
