Try Everything in 4th Grade!
News from the class of Mrs. Mele & Mrs. Karl November 7, 2016
What We Are Learning Reading:
Most recently, students performed the play, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” This tale of the headless horseman was the perfect text during Halloween week. The kids had a fun time making inferences about what happened at the end of the story. Writing: Students had a wonderful time sharing their spooky stories last week. Students are now working on using a model text to help them write descriptions of what they are most thankful for. Math: The kids are working hard on longer multiplication and division. We slow down our pace while working on these concepts, as they are rather difficult and take repeated practice to master. Please continue to help your child learn his/her math facts. The more fluent kids are with basic math facts, the easier these problems become.
Please mark your calendars! We will be having a “Most Thankful Tea” on Thursday, November 17th from 11:45- 12:30 in our classroom. The kids are excited to share their writing with you. More details to come!
