Math:

We are skipping some exercise in the math workbook.  The ones that will be skipped are the ones that have adding and subtracting units.  We, Dr Brannan, Mrs. Kent, Mrs Johnson, and myself, have talked and this will not impact fourth grade.  We are skipping these because we feel like the Singapore book does not spend enough time practicing the multiplication and division process before moving on.   We are going to concentrate on being able to convert from a small unit to a larger one or a larger unit to a smaller one.  We are going to spend the extra time reviewing multiplication and division.   Please continue to review all math facts. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  This can be accomplished with flash cards, math apps, or math games.

Please continue to practice bar modeling at home. Here are the links to the bar modeling https://fortisacademy.wordpress.com/curriculum/math/   

Composition:

We are working on individual animal home papers.  Please keep these in your child's binder once they are returned.  In three weeks we will combine all three papers into a three paragraph paper on different animals and the homes that they make.

This week we will begin the chemical change unit.  The poem for this unit is "Reactions".  This will be accessed on January 30.  The answer to the quiz can be found on page 128.
