This Week in Fourth Grade...
Math: This week in math we will begin Topic 9: Dividing by 1-Digit Numbers. We will work on building a strong foundation of our understanding of division. We will explore how we can use mental math and estimate to divide this week.
Religion: We are exploring and diving deeper into the Third Commandment this week. We will discuss and recognize why it is important to keep the Lord's Day holy, and ways in which we should honor the Lord this day.
Reading and Language Arts: This week in RELA our essential question is: How does the government work? We will read narrative nonfiction stories as well as expository texts that explore this question. As we read, we will identify elements of cause and effect in the texts.
In our Poetry Unit in Writer's Workshop we will be creating list poems this week!
Science: Our next topic in our Life Sciences Unit is: Food Webs! Students will explore the connection between different species in different environments, and recognize the significance of a food web in environments.
Social Studies: Last week students received the exciting news and directions about our upcoming Economy Day! This week will focus on learning more about how our economy works. We will identify goods and services we use in our lives, and learn about the importance of how supply and demand works. These lessons will help the students make decisions about the "shops" they plan to open!
