4th Grade Feb 11-15th

In math we are continuing our fractions unit and learning how to add and subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators. It is very important for students to understand that the denominator represents the size of pieces or how many pieces there are in the whole. Students also need to remember NOT to add or subtract the denominators. In writing we are continuing to work on our Author Report. I am trying to provide students with as much time as possible in class to work on this report. By this Friday, students should be done with their rough draft. Next week we will be working on our posters in class, so please make sure that your student has a poster they can bring to school to use for their project. Also, since we are doing reports on authors, I have asked each student to read a book they have not read already by their author. As part of their report, they will report on this book they read. They are allowed to read their book during writing time in class as well. On Thursday we will be having our Valentines Party. Your children are welcome to bring Valentines for our class, but we will not be formally exchanging Valentines in our class. They will do that in Mr. Leeper’s or Mrs. Hancock’s class.
