The homework tonight is on lesson 5.2 on figuring out whether a number is a factor of a product. They should use the divisibility chart in the lesson to help them. You can also watch the video below to assist you. You can also find some important information for this week at Crossroads down below.
Math:
Students are working on chapter 5 this week on factors, multiples, prime, composite, and patterns. They will be testing on chapters 1 and 5 sometime next week. We will give you a specific day to prepare your child and review concepts.
Science/ Social Studies:
Students are working with live organisms (meal worms, isopods - pill bugs and sow bugs) and their environment.
Language Arts:
Students will be working on Unit 1 on main idea and summarizing as they also transition to working stations of writing letters, word work, and reading.
Important Dates
Sept. 20th
Family Night at the Book Fair
Reminder: Early Dismissal Every Wednesday at 1:40
Grading:
This year your child will have letter grades on their report cards. It is important for you to review the papers that come home with your child on a regular basis. If your child has a C or below on an assignment, please help reinforce the concepts and have your child redo the assignment. Sometimes you may also see a 1-4 score on your child’s paper. This type of score reflects a rubric score for the assignment. See the grade equivalents below:
4-A, 3-B, 2-C, 1-D or Below
Interims will keep you informed of your child’s current grades. The first interim, however, will be very general since only a few grades will be given by that date.
Homework:
Please check your child’s homework notebook for daily homework assignments. The basic nightly routine will be 20 minutes of reading AND a math assignment. The math will be the homework pages in the math workbook that correlate with the daily lesson OR a Think Central assignment. Your child should have the pages written down in their notebooks. Mr. Utter will also post daily assignments with how to videos on the G-Force blog.
Snack:
Fourth grade students have a very early lunch this year, so we will not have a snack time. Our time is limited in the afternoon due to recess and specials. Please make sure your child eats a sufficient amount of lunch to get them through the school day.
