Week Three...Yippee!

Students got to check out books from the library for the first time this week.  Books are due Thursday.  Please make sure that your student treats our library books with care.

Please feel free to send a water bottle to school with your child. Students have been thirsty, and we don't always have time to line up at the drinking fountain.  

Park 5th graders are having a can drive next week to raise money for 5th grade camp.  There will be a classroom competition to see which class brings in the most cans.  Help us win by sending in cans!

Here is what we learned in 4th grade this past week:

Writing: I can plan and draft my small moment story.

Social Studies: I can tell the difference between natural, human, and capital resources.  I can use what I know about resources to tell about scarcity. 

Math:  I can:

• round and compare greater numbers (up to 1,000,000!)
• add greater numbers using a method of my choosing
• use estimation and mental math to check my answers
• subtract from thousands

Reading: I can:

• pay attention while reading, so that words matter
• clear up confusion by asking questions
• recall strategies to problem-solve when I get to unfamiliar words
