In Reading we reviewed how to write in reading journals. The students are reading a LOT. We have worked at filling bookbags, and in the next few weeks I will finish meeting with everyone about their reading choices. It takes a while for the routines to become natural, but the children are doing a great job practicing these!
In Writing we finished writing our goals for fourth grade. Mrs. Merten has been helping us edit them for publishing. We also began writing about an important person in our lives. Next week we'll continue to write about important places and objects. We are also working on our poetry with Mrs. Williams. You can read more about that in our Creative Arts Chronicles.
In Math we've been reviewing place value, and learning some new strategies for reading and writing BIG numbers (to the billions place). The best way to improve at this is practice, practice, practice! Mrs. Merten has also encouraged us to practice our math facts using our Math Fact Practice Link (located under the curriculum link). We can earn chips for this!
This week we had our Summer Reading Reward Show, Bubblemania. Fourth
grade had 100% of the students return their reading logs! Way to Go!
We enjoyed the show, and our very own Declan was put inside a bubble!
It was really fun!
We have also been working on our Puff Mobiles. We can't wait to race them next week!
