Curriculum

🧮 Math - This week we will continue with Unit 4: Multiplication & Division by learning how to divide using the area model and standard algorithm. In 4th grade we have 1 digit divisors and up to 4 digit dividends.  🌟Please continue to have your child work on their multiplication/division facts every night! 

🧪 Science - This past week, students  learned about Conservation of Matter.  We conducted an investigation with soil and water to demonstrate how matter is conserved when mixtures are formed and the matter itself doesn't change....the soil was still soil and the water was still water even if it was mixed together. Next week, students will  review for Science TEKS Check for Unit 1 on Matter. We will play some review games to refresh our memory on skills including physical states of matter and temperature, mass, density, magnetism and mixtures & solutions. We will take our assessment on Wednesday, Oct. 8th.

📚 Reading: 🦉 What’s the "Scoop" in 4th Grade ELA this Week? 🐾

We’re paws-itively busy in ELA! This week, students will be un-bear-ably engaged as they explore plot elements through a short film and dig into their book club books to sniff out clues about setting — focusing on place, time, and mood. They're becoming setting sleuths! We’ll wrap up the week with a clawsome review of our Module 2 skills to prepare for next week’s TEKS check on 9/29 — no lion, they’re doing great!

✏️ Writing:  Students will showcase their wild research by creating a creative 1-pager that shows how animals use their senses to survive and thrive in the wild. It’s going to be otterly amazing! 🦦

🌏 Social Studies - Students will continue unit 2 and learning about Native Americans, regions and the changes from past to present. We will also continue discussing in detail the tribes regarding their gov't structure, how they live based on the characteristics of the region they occupied and their culture. We're going to have so much fun taking a deep dive into the Native American way of life!
