Welcome to 4th Grade!
Welcome to my class! You will be in my room for reading, math, and technology. You go to Mrs. Vincent for social studies and Mrs. Nettleton for science.
The new 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 missing assignment sheets home every Monday along with the weekly reading assessment score from the previous week. 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, electricity and magnetism, and the human body.
In technology, students learn keyboarding, how to create a spreadsheet, how use Microsoft Word including inserting clipart into a document, and they 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.
