In school, 4th graders typically face new challenges and expectations. For example, 4th graders are expected to have made the shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." ~Mike Anderson (Educational Leadership: Vol. 68, issue 7)

Homework 11/15-11/21

There will be worksheets each night this week. They are to be completed on the day they are given and returned the following day. We are reviewing concepts we have already worked on this year.

Monday:
Students will be identifying the place value of large numbers. For example: 32,814,759 the 32 is millions, 814 is thousands, and 759 are hundreds.

Some students will be taking home a worksheet with basic math facts on it. They are to complete the worksheet and bring it back tomorrow. Also, some students did not finish their "problem-solving" worksheet in class today and will be finishing them at home tonight.

Tuesday:
Last week we looked at the strategies for multiplying by 8's and 9's. Today students will practice those strategies and will represent the factors and products on an area grid.

Wednesday:
Today students will be identifying the place value of digits in a large number. For example:
32,814,759 the 3 is ten millions, 2 is millions, 8is hundred thousands, 1 is ten thousands, 4 is thousands, 7 is hundreds, 5 is tens and the 9 is ones.

Thursday:
Students will be reviewing "measuring with centimeters." They will have 2 worksheets. The first sheet is to be cut out and taped together to make a centimeter ruler. This is to be used to measure items around the house, that are listed on the second worksheet, and recorded. Hopefully students have fun with this activity.


As usual, students should read for 30 minutes every day during the week and hopefully some time on the weekend. This is the best way to become better readers. The reading logs are due on Monday, November 22.
