Hello!
We are moving right along in our subjects. It is hard to believe that it is already March. With that said, we will begin preparing for the Milestones. Please understand that this is not teaching to the test, but providing and reviewing 4th grade standards which is what the Milestones is focused on. Items like constructed responses, reading comprehension, finding main ideas, inferencing, place value, fractions, etc. are examples of our standards. Again, this is not teaching to the test. I would rather have the students prepared than surprised. Remember, cramming is not our friend.
Reminders
Early Release is next Wednesday, 13
Picture day is March 18.
Reading- We will finish our unit on reading and understanding historical text, specifically the American Revolution (although we have gone ahead a little bit because the concepts are the same).
Social Studies- Don't forget the social studies test for my homeroom is Wednesday and for Mr. Mathews class it is Thursday. We will begin talking about different presidents and the election this week.
Math- We are finishing up our unit on fractions and decimals. We will finish decimals by Wednesday and will begin reviewing on Wednesday as well. Students should be bringing home their math journals (this has been true since the beginning of the year).
Writing- The students will finish their final drafts about the American Revolution.
