Hello Families!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! This Friday is the last day of first quarter. I can’t believe how fast the year is going. We have accomplished many things and have worked really hard. Friday is also a half day. Students will be dismissed at 11:50. Tuesday night is P’sghetti’s Night Fundraiser. If you have time you can try and stop by for dinner to help benefit Sappington! On Thursday the 4th graders have been invited to assembly for an author visit from Tyler Whiteside! He will also talk to the students about writing. We are very excited about it!
This week in math we are continuing to practice multiplication and division strategies through the 12’s. We are working on using strategies to help us solve problems until we have them memorized. Later this week we will be learning about multiplication strategies and solving word problems with multiplication and division. We will take our chapter 8 quiz on Monday, October 21st.
- ------A good resource for students to use to help them with their facts is multiplication.com.
This week in reading we are continuing to work with making inferences. Later in the week we will focus on making inferences in poetry.
Students will be taking their spelling test this week. They have a copy of their words at home and at school to help them study.
In writing we are continuing to work on our realistic fiction piece. We are working on revising and drafting these pieces. This week we will study how we can use authors as resources to revise our own leads. We are also studying how authors use action and dialogue to improve their writing.
I hope everyone has a great week! Let me know if you have any questions!
Amanda
