This Week in Fourth Grade...

Coming Up This Week….

Reading Workshop

        In Reading Workshop this week we will continue to work on comparing and contrasting two different texts.  Last week we watched a video, read an article, and read an interview all about a tool scientists use called a Critter Cam.  It was fun to look for ideas that the video had in common with the other texts.  We were also able to think about what made each one different.  We will build upon that this week during reading.


Math

        Last week we started to look at fractions on a number line.  We were thinking about how we could divide a number line from 0 to 1 into parts using what we already know about tape diagrams.  To think about where a fraction belongs on a number line we thought about benchmark fractions like ½ to reason mathematically where a fractions would belong on the number line.  We will continue to use benchmark fractions to help us compare fractions and determine where they fit on the number line. 

Social Studies

In Social Studies we are starting to learn about the Western Region of the United States.  We have been getting an overview of this region.  After we understand what it is like to live in this region of the United States, we are going to take a closer look at some of the important places and events that occur in this area of our country.  The kids are going to become experts on California earthquakes, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Rocky Mountains, the Redwood Forest, Yosemite National Park, and the volcanoes in Hawaii.  After becoming an expert on one of these topics based on their research, the kids will create an iMovie to show off all that makes this region special!
