This Week in Fourth Grade...
Math: This week we begin Topic 3: all about Place Value! We will explore different ways to represent numbers, such as standard form, expanded form, and using base ten blocks. We will also start to look at the relationships between place values and order and compare numbers.
Religion: We will begin Chapter 4 this week, which expands on what we learned about in Chapter 3. This week we will focus on recognizing our consciences as our guide when making decisions in our daily lives.
Reading and Language Arts: Our essential question in RELA this week is: What are some messages animals have to share with us? We will be reading folktales this week involving animals and identifying the moral of the story in our tales! We will also be focusing on the comprehension strategy of recognizing clues that lead us to finding the theme!
In Writer's Workshop we are ready to begin our next writing piece: Explanatory Writing! Students will begin the brainstorming and prewriting stages for creating their "how-to" articles.
Science: We begin our Waves Unit this week! Our first topic in our Waves unit will be Light and Sound! Students will explore how light and sound move through the air and are produced. Students will be able to experience some hands on activities to make these concepts more concrete!
Social Studies: We continue our explorations through the Southeast Region this week!
