4th Grade Happenings the Week of November 4-8, 2013

Math - We worked on the Properties of Addition and started learning about "multiples" of numbers and "factoring" numbers.  In multiplication, we focused on the 7's.

Reading - We read about Ben Franklin in our Treasures textbook and focused on finding the "problem and the solution" in a text.

Grammar -  We worked on singular and plural possessives of a word.   We have been exploring figurative language with metaphors and alliterations. 

Science - We finished up our study of the "States of Matter" with a unit test.

Social Studies - We began exploring the "Southeast Region".

Other:  On Friday, we attended an all school assembly and celebrated achieving our Good Behavior Goal with "technology day"  in the classroom.  We also learned about Veterans Day and made patriotic feathers for our Veterans Day Turkey.
