Dear parents,
It was another fantastic week full of learning! Our 4th grade Tigers have been exposed to a new Nonfiction unit that enhances their critical thinking as readers recognize features and the main idea using different texts. As mathematicians, they finished Unit 2 and are about to start a brand new unit that is very important for them to be engaged and committed at all times. To maintain a positive learning environment, we kindly ask that students refrain from chewing gum during school hours. While we understand that some students enjoy gum, it can lead to cleanliness issues and distractions in the classroom. Thank you for your support.We hope to see you tonight and have fun during the Fall Festival!
Learning Goal
Learning from Texts
This week we will focus on the challenge of unfamiliar, often domain-specific, vocabulary words, and on understanding what complicated numbers and statistics in texts mean. Readers will learn to look in and around to figure out new words. In addition, readers will be practicing how to summarize (using the Learning Progression ) important information by identifying the writer’s main idea and the key supporting details- all while being careful to put this into their own words.
