It has been a busy first full week of school! Curriculum night is next Tuesday (6:35-6:55 in the Multi-purpose room for an all-school presentation followed by a presentation in our classroom at 7:00 p.m.). I hope you can join me to learn about the curriculum map for the year as well as what 4th grade looks like including field trips and other events.
Highlights of the week: Math: We continue to build our guidelines for a math workshop model (collaboration, using strategies that work for us, talking/writing about math, using math tools, etc.) as well as working with place value to determine greater/less than and adding on or subtracting using larger numbers. Reading: We practiced different pieces of reading workshop including writing about our reading, summarizing, inferring and working with partners. Writing: We also practiced different pieces of the writing workshop including how to come up with ideas, where to get spelling help, revising, editing and how the writing process goes. Today we did an on-demand narrative piece where students wrote for 30 minutes about a story from their life. Technology: We have started talking about digital citizenship and practiced logging in and using some of the tools we have in class (Epic in reading, Prodigy/Zearn in math, SeeSaw and Class Notebook).
