Welcome to Mrs. Beydoun’s 4th Grade

 

 

Language Arts:  We are working on Read to Self  Work on Writing, and Read to someone.   I have introduced a number of strategies for students to use during their reading. This weeks focus is main idea and supporting details.   I ask that parents take the time to read with you child each night.  After the child has read for 30 minutes ask them questions about what they have read.   This week we are focusing on informational text and text features.    For grammar our focus this week is on affixes.

Math:  We are working beginning  Unit 2 in math.  Unit 2 focuses on using numbers and organizing data.  We will be learning about place value, and fluently adding and subtracting multi digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm .  In addition I ask that parents go over their child’s basic computation skills.  Math flash cards can be purchased from the Dollar Store.  Each card marking period students will be tested on all 4 computations skills.

 

Science: This card marking period we will be learning about the scientific method and life science.  Students will participate in hands on experiments to better their understanding.  I will send home readings that go along with what we are reading in class.  Please go over the reading.

 

Social Studies:  Students will demonstrate understanding of how Geographers think.  Students will also be able to locate Michigan and the United States on a map. This week we will be focusing on the five regions of the United States.

 

Snacks:  Please send in a healthy snack with your child.  I ask that you only send in a fresh fruit or vegetable.  I will give them snack time.

Birthday Parties:  No cupcakes are allowed.  Please send in a healthy snack.

 

Weather:  Please dress your child according to the weather.  They will be going outside for recess everyday.
