What We Are Learning
Reading:
- With December being a short and busy month, we will zone in on realistic fiction. We will be working on skills like point of view and perspective. We will also continue our learning with figurative language. We will focus on similes and metaphors. Let’s make it a great month!
Math:
- 4th grade will continue to grow their brains in December and extend their learning of their multiplication and division strategies! We will find the products and quotients of 2-digit by 2-digit factors and the quotients of 3 and 4-digit dividends! At home, students can continue to master their fact fluency for multiplication and division to help them become more efficient in their problem-solving strategies.
Science:
- We are learning about light and energy. We are investigating how animals use their sense of light to survive. We will learn all about how light interacts with the eye to gain information about the environment.
