What We Are Learning
Reading: The students
have been using a helpful strategy to remember all of the information that they
need when responding to open-ended questions about text. It is an acronym called METAL- Main idea,
Examples, Text Evidence, Analysis, and Link.
The students are doing a great job with this strategy that they will
continue to use next year in 5th grade.
Math: We have moved into our next chapter in math
on decimals. Even though the chapter on
fractions was a rigorous one, the students have shown how much progress that
they made in their understanding of fractional numbers, with their smooth
transition into this chapter on decimals.
They have shown impressive improvement in their work and attitude! At home, remember to relate decimals to
money.
Weekly Work Folder: Remember that
graded papers, classwork/homework, and other important notices go home each
week on Thursday in the weekly work folder.
Please sign and return the folder, the very next day, each Friday!
