October 2011

Hello 4th Grade Families,

I have enjoyed discussing student progress in the parent teacher conferences that i have had so far. I look forward to seeing the rest of you in the upcoming days.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 19th we are going on our first field trip. We currently have all the volunteers that we need. Please make sure that your student has a lunch from home tomorrow if it is possible. We are going to DADs Landfill in Aurora. It is near Gun Club Road and Hampden Ave. We will be leaving the school around 11:00 and returning around 2:00.
The fourth graders are continuing to work hard and grow mathematically. We are making progress on our Mountain of Math Facts and working very hard on meeting the current math standards. This week we are continuing Unit 3. In this unit, we begin understanding algebra, division, and multiplication as well as we learn to solve number stories. 
In social studies, we have been learning about maps and the different types of maps that are available, how to read maps, and how to  find locations using latitude and longitude. We are now beginning to learn how different groups have contributed to the United States.
Homework:
Tuesday 10/18- Bring a lunch for tomorrow and S.L. 3.6
Wednesday 10/19- S.L. 3.7
Thursday 10/20- S.L. 3.8
