How the weeks have flown by so quickly! The fourth graders have been learning a lot and working collaboratively. In Math, we continue to focus on place value in whole numbers and operations. This past week, students worked in groups to model how we can focus on place value when subtracting and adding using Base-Ten blocks.
In Reading, we are reading a whole class fictional book, James and the Giant Peach. Students have been able to identify character traits (physical and personality traits) when learning about the many characters in our story. The fourth graders have been working very hard on their vocabulary words and comprehension questions. As a class, we have also modeled how to write a summary using key story elements. Here you will see a small group reading together and discussing the chapter's comprehension questions. |
