SBA Morning Math Practice
Starting on Thursday, March 1, Mrs. Gose will be offering a weekly SBA math practice class in her classroom (room 19) every Thursday morning from 8:40-9:00. This is meant to be a review class for students who need a bit of refreshing on key 4th grade math skills. It is open to all children who may need extra practice regardless of who their teacher is. Please reach out to Mrs. Gose at [email protected] if you have any further questions. Thank you!
Social Studies: We are reading Lewis and Clark (In Their Own Words) by George Sullivan. Drawing on the explorers' journals and other primary sources, this book recounts the story of the Lewis and Clark expedition, exploring the uncharted western wilderness. Students will understand the historical context, and the importance of Lewis & Clark’s journey while practicing their non-fiction reading comprehension skills.
Reading: As we read about Lewis & Clark, we'll be practicing:
- Finding Main Ideas and Supporting Details
- Comparing and Contrasting
- Analyzing characters
- Using text evidence to make inferences
- Summarizing the text
- Examining descriptive details
- Describing events in a story
Writing: Students are starting opinion writing with an emphasis on supporting an opinion using reasons, details, and examples.
Volunteer Opportunities: Our class volunteer calendar: http://signup.com/go/bKMtZZx Thanks, again, for all you do to support children, teachers and learning!
