4th Grade - Mrs. Michels

As all of you know, Fourth Grade is a little challenging.  There are so many new things your child will be learning.  One of the most important things is that they are now taking responsibility for their work and behavior.  One of the many activities they are involved in is "Reading Response". I hope to do many projects with them this year, one of which will be a Black History Project in February.  I look forward to working with all of you in the coming months.

 

What We Hope to Accomplish This Year

This year we hope to master multiplication, division and fractions in Math.  We will be using cross-curriculum for ELA and Social Studies.  The students will discover how the Native Americans lived; their traditons and their history. We will also learn about Colonial Times and the Revolutionary War. Writing will include Reading Response, writing to inform and persuade and fictional narratives. 

Some of the projects that we will complete this year are:

• Water Cycle Book
• Saints Project
• Black History
• Colonial Apprentice

Fourth Grade Supply List
 

6 -7 composition books (no loose leaf binders)

Number 2 pencils

Please have your child practice his/hers addition, subtraction and multiplication facts as well as cursive writing.  Every student must have a leisure reading book with him/her in class every day.  I am looking forward to working with you and your children in September.
