Welcome to 4th Grade!
Welcome to my class! You will be in my room for reading, math science, and technology. You go to Mrs. Nettleton for social studies.
The reading series focuses on fluency, comprehension, spelling, grammar, and vocabulary. Please be sure students are reading at home at least 20 minutes every evening. It is also helpful if you ask them questions about what they read to help them focus on comprehension. Occasionally reading aloud would also help increase their fluency.
I send the weekly reading assessment score from the previous week home on Mondays. They should be signed and returned on Tuesday. Also, please make sure that planners are getting home and signed. If your son/daughter does not bring home a planner or library book, feel free to bring them back to school to pick it up.
In social studies, students will be working on regions of the country and the First Step program. In science, students learn about rocks & minerals, human body, and electricity and magnetism, .
In technology, students learn keyboarding through the program Type to Learn, how to create a spreadsheet, how to use Microsoft Word including inserting clipart into a document, and how to put together a PowerPoint presentation.
If students need some extra math practice on addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, please click on the math practice link. This will give some extra practice on facts.
