4th Grade Update: Reading and Writing

4th grade is the best grade in my opinion.In reading we are learning about main idea. Really cool learning about it because we were in the future you are going to  be famous. And writing we are learning trigger  writes.  Trigger  writes are writing in 3 minutes.  Once we are done we count our words and whoever has the most gets a treat.  In reading we have reading stations.  One example of a reading station is Istation.  There's also vocabulary in reading .  We think that writing and reading  are so cool because you get to learn and it's also fun.  Everything we do is fun and its learning.

3rd Grade Update: Science and Social Studies

In science and social studies we have been learning about landforms. A landform is part of Earth's crust.You can find a landform almost anywhere. An example of a landform is a mountain. More examples of landforms are islands, hills, and plains. Landforms are not man made. Landforms are awesome!

A while back we learn about reading maps. All maps have a map key or legend. Map keys are symbols that help us read a map. Maps help us find places like Disney World. Maps are very useful. Maps are amazing!

We also learned about compass roses. Compass roses show north south east and west. Compass roses have cardinal points. Every map has one.

3rd Grade Update: Math

This week we're learning about Perimeter.  Perimeter is the space around something.  These are some things that we are measuring:  notebooks, math books, the classroom walls. We measured square tiles on paper.

Last week we learned about compatible numbers  Compatible numbers are numbers that are easy to add and so you don’t have to regroup.  Some examples are.599 +499. It’s easier to add 500+600.
