ILA –We are reading a variety of literature this month. We are focusing a lot of attention on nonfiction and the text aids and structure that help us understand nonfiction better. Encourage your child to read nonfiction at home, too.
In writing we will continue to write in all areas of the curriculum. We are also writing to inform.
Hopefully, the children are getting used to writing in cursive. We will review some letters, and I am encouraging the children to write in cursive as much as possible.
THIS MONTH WE ARE GATHERING CHRISTMAS GIFT ITEMS FOR A CHILD AT SAINT VINCENT’S HOME. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP. YOU WILL RECEIVE A LETTER ABOUT THIS CHARITABLE PROJECT.
MATH –We are finishing unit 3 and will be testing on Friday, November 14. Then we will begin working on unit 4 in Everyday Math focusing on decimal concepts.
Please continue to review multiplication and division facts with your child. The fourth graders should have quick recall of all the multiplication facts through 10 x10. I am pleased with how well most of the children have mastered the multiplication facts.
Social Studies – We are studying about people of Maryland prior to the 15th century. The children will again have to turn in the notebook at the end of the unit, so encourage your child to keep papers neatly and organized. I also encourage the children to complete an extra credit project for the unit. Refer to the guidelines that were sent home.
Science – The children are in the midst of the study of Natural Cycles. They may also complete an extra credit project for that.
