Our Year At a Glance
The fourth grade math series will continue to build on the concepts taught from last year. We will be learning about decimals, fractions, geometry, and measurement as well as reviewing addition, subtraction and division. The series is the same as the one used in the primary grades. We will be using the core standards as our base for learning. The children need to know their addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts. These need to be studied at home so that the students are prepared to learn the concepts being taught. It will be much easier for them if they do. They will use a spiral where we do examples of what is being taught and they should use this for study purposes. I will also teach Religion to my homeroom as well as Social Studies. I will be teaching Reading and the Math to both fourth grade classes. The reading classes will concentrate on vocabulary, comprehension skills, and close reading techniques, especially concentrating on preparing them for the aspire testing in the spring.
