Week 20: 1/23 – 1/27 | 4th Grade with Mrs. Hawks

Math: Word Problems and Equations

This week we are moving from one-step word problems into two-step word problems. It is more essential than ever for students to label every step of their work so that they know WHY they are doing each operation.
Please check in with your child to ensure they are completing their math homework/remembering sheets each night. Although students are given opportunities to complete these pages in class, some students are not finishing them, and then are not completing them at home either. These sheets allow me to see if students are understanding the concepts when working independently, so they really need to be finished and ready to go over at the start of class the following day.
Remember that Moby Max is a great online resource for students to practice and improve math skills.

Reading: Reading Informational Texts

Writing: Researching the 5 Regions of the United States

Students have been researching the regions of the US over the past few weeks and are currently finishing the final region: the West.
Students will spend a few days comparing and contrasting the 5 regions of the US before we take a quiz over the 5 regions, as well as a US Geography test next week.
- Students will receive study guide later this week.

Science: The Earth, Sun, and Moon
