Weekly Update

Writing

We continued in our persuasive unit this past week.  Students participated in debates and chose their persuasive topic!  This week we will begin drafting our essays.  The next Spelling Test is Friday, December 2nd.

Reading 

In reading groups, we are continuing to work on our natural disaster projects.  Many students have begun typing their articles for their group's magazine.  Students are working hard and their work is turning out great!  I can't wait to show you the finished product!  Just take a look at some of the awesome resources that the groups have used in putting together their magazine!

Also this past week, we started our new read aloud, "No Talking" by Andrew Clements.  Andrew Clements is a great author for fourth grade students!

Math

This past week we learned long division!  Students are doing well with it so far.  Ask them what they were taught to help them in remembering the steps!  It is important that students continue to practice their facts and keep up with math homework to stay on track!  

Social Studies 

Students are working on their Famous Missourian reports!  These are due this Tuesday, 11/22!  Check out one student's progress!
