This Week in Fourth Grade....

We hope everyone enjoyed April vacation and Easter!  It is crazy to think we are starting the last stretch of 4th grade!  

MCAS

This week the students will take the ELA MCAS on Thursday and Friday.

Math Workshop

We are starting our unit on decimals in math.  We will take what we have learned about fractions to help us with learning about decimals to the tenths and hundredths. 

At this time of year we also spend time reviewing all that we have learned throughout the year.  Our focus is on stopping and thinking about what we know about a topic and then thinking about how to approach that problem.


Reader's Workshop


This week we will be reviewing and celebrating our learning so far this year.  We want students to enter the MCAS test on Thursday and Friday of this week confident and ready to do their best.

Once MCAS is complete, students will continue to learn research and non-fiction comprehension strategies.  They will also participate in book clubs that will require students to synthesize their learning from this year.
