Team News: Week of September 1-September 6

Our second week in 4th grade was a busy one!  The boy and girls have adjusted well and we've been able to get right down to work.  I'm enjoying getting to know each and every one of your children...they are all wonderful!

This week:  In Literacy we read our first story, My Diary from Here to There.  We began learning about how to make inferences about characters, setting, and plot.  We also talked a lot about types of sentences.  I began to introduce students to our Work Plan activities and we had our first spelling list.  Ask your child about some of the activities we did this week.
In Math we began Unit 1 which is all about whole numbers, place value, patterns, and rounding in computation.
In Social Studies we began learning about our state, New Hampshire.  We learned about our state symbols and special events that occur in just New Hampshire. We designed NH state license plates using our state symbols.  We began to talk about New Hampshire's place in the world.

Please read your child's Friday Reflection when it comes home this weekend!
