Reading: Over the past 2 weeks, we have been reading and learning about Technical Texts. Technical Texts contain steps and/or procedures to complete a certain task and the importance of each procedure. Two of our favorite technical texts that we read were about density and our pulse rate. Below, you will see students conducting an experiment on density and calculating their resting pulse rate.
Math: We just finished up a unit on Place Value. We took the unit assessment earlier in the week. I will share the assessment with you at conferences, but if you're interested in your child's score prior to that, I am more than willing to share it with you! We just began a unit on multiplication and division. In third grade, there is a large focus on strategies to learn multiplication facts. In fourth grade, we take multiplication a bit further and apply it to word problems and multi digit numbers X one dight or two digit numbers. We are reviewing our facts, but it is extremely important that they are practicing them at home! Yesterday we reviewed multiplication as groups of objects and how to write an equation. Some of us really enjoyed using manipulatives, like you will see in the photos!
Science: Science was all about the human body, specifically muscles, joints, bones, and tendons. Part of our learning included a chicken wing dissection! We had a lot of fun learning more about our body by dissecting the chicken wing. Take a look below! Now that our science unit is over, we are headed to Mrs. Erwin's room for social studies!
