This Week in Fourth Grade

Students did a great job switching classes for math and ELA this week!

Social Studies
We explored our classroom atlases and learned about cardinal and intermediate directions, reading a map key, and latitude and longitude.

Math
We talked about the growth mindset -- When we struggle and make mistakes, our brains grow! -- and began a unit on place value. Students practiced reading and writing numbers in the hundred thousands using numerals, number words, and expanded form.

ELA
In reading, students practiced making connections to the text. They are really enjoying our read-aloud book, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing! Working in teams, they brainstormed character traits for the six characters we've met so far.

Fun on Friday!
Our homeroom plays Silent Ball at the end of the day on Fridays. The hand-eye coordination in room 236 is most impressive! :)
