Fourth Grade Learning
In 4th grade this year at King Elementary, your child will be in a departmentalized grade level. This means that your child will be taught literacy and social studies from Mrs. Studer, and math and science from Ms. Jenn. Each day your child will start their day in their homeroom classroom and then spend the morning with one teacher and the afternoon with the other teacher. This new format will offer a great opportunity for your child to learn as much as they can.
In reading, we have been working on summarizing, cause and effect, identifying the author’s purpose, and finding the theme. Each day we work on reading in a whole group setting. Then we break down into small groups where skills can be broken down as needed. We are 2 weeks away from our Unit #1 posttest. It is important that each student read each day and study their spelling words.
In math, we are 2 weeks away from our unit #1 test. We have been focusing on place value, rounding, and number types. We will soon dive into word problems. Basic facts are the foundation of math, so it is important to work on them each and every day.
