4th Grade Feb 19th-Mar 1st

In math we are going to begin learning about decimals. We will learn how decimals and fractions relate, learn place value with decimals, learn how to compare and order decimals, and learn how to round decimals. We will also be taking a quiz to see how students are doing with adding and subtracting fractions. It is important for students to remember that they must have the same sized pieces, or the same denominator, in order for them to add or subtract fractions. The hardest thing for students that I have been seeing is simplifying fractions. Students are forgetting to simplify their answers and are forgetting how to simplify. On homework, please remind your student to simplify their answers! In writing we are continuing to work on our Author Report. Students should have their rough draft completed by now. This week in class we will be focusing on the poster part of their assignment. I will be showing students in class exactly what is expected of them to do for their poster. Students will have time in class to work on their poster. Please send you student to school with their poster by Thursday at the latest. By the end of this week students should have their poster completed. Next week they will have time in class to finish what they haven’t gotten done on their report and to practice their presentations. On Thursday February 28th we will begin our oral presentations. Students must have their report completed and ready to present by Friday March 1st at the latest.
