This week we worked a great deal on main idea and supporting details in reading. The children are learning how to find the main idea in their reading. We continue to work on reading comprehension and fluency. Students must remember that learning to read is only the beginning. Reading to learn is the goal!
We finished up our unit 2 math and took the unit 3 pre-test . Test results were sent home today with your kids. Our next math unit is on multiplication. The Truman website has some wonderful resources for helping your child learn their basic facts. Simply go to the 4th grade link and you will see your choices. We now have 12 kids in the 5 minute club. Ask your child what this is.
Please save an empty tissue box for your child. They will be bringing home a Social Studies project sheet on Thursday and will need that empty Kleenex box to complete the project. More detail will come on Thursday. This is an at home project.
WE have a Mystery Motivator reward in our class beginning Monday. The children will get this mystery prize if ALL of the 4th graders return their homework DAILY next week. It is a GREAT prize!
New book orders were sent home today. The more the kids read the better they will get at reading! There are many books that are only $1.
The state book for next week is New York and the Comprehension Tidbits story is The Wrasse Fish.
