MATH- Module 5 (we skip over 4, then return after our fraction unit) Fraction Equivalence, Ordering, and Operations
In this 40-day module, students build on their Grade 3 work with unit fractions as they explore fraction equivalence and extend this understanding to mixed numbers. This leads to the comparison of fractions and mixed numbers and the representation of both in a variety of models. Benchmark fractions play an important part in students’ ability to generalize and reason about relative fraction and mixed number sizes. Students then have the opportunity to apply what they know to be true for whole number operations to the new concepts of fraction and mixed number operations.
Math HW Help: Duane Habecker on YouTube is a great resource. Search for 4th Grade Module # and Lesson #. He will review/model homework problems.
ADVANCED ELA- Our second unit is focused around stories of survival. We will read texts featuring stories of what it means to survive and how perspective can impact decisions. The core novel will be "The One and Only Ivan". Our Ad-ELA text is "Touching Spirit Bear"
In writing, we will focus on writing in response to literature while reading and gathering information from Ivan. In word study, we will discover the meaning of various Greek and Latin roots.
SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES- We will begin our unit on animal and human adaptations.

Governor Pat Quinn signed Erin's Law in January of 2013, which requires all schools in the state of Illinois to provide age appropriate sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention education programs for their students in grades Pre-K through 12. | |
