4th Grade Happenings for the week of November 18-22, 2013

This week's blog has been prepared by the 4th grade class.

Math
Last week we reviewed place value, with word form, expanded form, and numerals.   We also compared numbers.   In multiplication we focused on the 9's.


Reading/Grammar

Last week in Reading we worked on Turkey Fact and Opinion.  We read the Tale of Despereaux.  And we also worked on prefixes and suffixes.   We spent a lot of time working on Thanksgiving Food Alliterations.

Social Studies
Last week we learned about the culture, food, landmarks, music, and industry in the Southeast Region.

Cursive
In cursive last week we focused on K, R, and S. 

Spelling
Last week we did not do a spelling test, but we had several practice spelling bees in the classroom.

Special Events
Last week, we went bowling and ate lunch at Cici's Pizza.    We also watched Monster's University and hunted for positive character traits in the movie.  We also learned some Cooperative Learning Structures.

Happy Thanksgiving!
