I think we have finally gotten into our stride as 4th graders! We have been doing almost everything on our agenda each day and the class is starting to proceed on 4th grade pace! I am very happy with how well the students are settling into being 4th graders although I am still getting a number of late assignments from students and we have talked about this in class. All assignments are due the day after they are assigned unless I give the students extra time. If that is the case the due date is written on the "What is Due" board. Beginning this week we will be responsible for turning in our assignments by the due date. If they are not turned in they will be graded according to the 4th grade late assignment scale: 1 day late 80%, 2 days late 70% and 3 days late 60 anything after that is a 0.
We have a busy week ahead of us:
Math - continue learning factors, rules of divisibility, common factors and prime factorization
Excellence in Writing - begin a new explanatory essay
Grammar - finish our unit on prepositions and start working on capitalization rules. Students will need to continue to study their prepositions as we will keep testing, I want all kids to pass off these prepositions as it makes the rest of their grammar much easier
Literature - Continue Pollyanna
Science - Continue our unit on Geology and we will be studying volcanoes, mountains, rocks and erosion
