This week will be our first full week of class. We are getting a hang of the procedures and will continue to practice those throughout the next several weeks. This week, though, it is time to begin the academic part of 4th grade. The math lessons this week will focus on place value. We'll be building on what you learned last year by learning about numbers up to 1,000,000. During guided reading, we will read a short story titled "The Luckiest Man," which is about Lou Gehrig. We'll use this story as a way to introduce setting, characters, and plot. In writing, we are going to set up our notebooks and start thinking of topics we about which we might like to write.
I'd like to remind everyone about Back to School Night on September 8. Since we no longer have parent-teacher conferences, this is a great chance for us to meet one another. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there!
