Miss Teaford's Class: Week 16

This week in reading we are learning about making connections when we are reading. We are comparing and contrasting as well as making connections between the text and audio/visual representations of the text. For spelling we are doing Sort 29. All the spelling words have -le at the end and follow the VCle, VCCle doublet, or VCCle pattern.

In writing we are starting a persuasive letter to Mr. Campbell. We are writing to Mr. Campbell to persuade him to let the entire 4th grade have a pajama day. We are writing the letter this week and will be revising and editing it next week. The letter is due next Friday, December 13th.

In math we are continuing studying equivalent fractions. Equivalent fractions are fractions that refer to the exact same amount of a whole, but are in different sized pieces. For example: 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8. By the end of the week, students should know exactly how to find equivalent fractions. We will also start comparing fractions to benchmark fractions such as 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 3/4, 1 whole etc . . .

In Social Studies we are working on recreational activities PowerPoint Presentations. Students have 1 more day this week to finish their presentation with their partner in class, then we will be presenting them on Thursday and Friday of this week. Also, please make sure that your students are studying their counties and county seats. Students will have their Counties Test on December 17th and December 18th. Next week we will be taking a quiz a day on the different regions in Utah and their counties to make sure that students are studying their counties. These are all a part of students' grades for Social Studies for this term.
