Hats off to Lender Processing Services Inc. (our classroom sponsor), they hosted a wonderful Halloween party for the entire fourth grade on October 29, 2010. Thank you so much! We enjoyed everything! Reading:
In reading we finished working with the story Tomas and the Library Lady, as well as read Tanya's Reunion. We completed a variety of activities that accompanied both stories in our center rotations. During our reading time we also focused on the standard of main idea, noting details, sequencing and making inferences. It is important we master this standard because these are key skills for every subject.
On Wednesday, October 27, Biltmore Elementary held its annual Vocabulary Parade. Pre-K - 2nd grade held their parade at 9:30 am, and 3rd- 5th grade held their parade at 1:30 pm. During this event students and faculty dressed up as their favorite book characters and created unique vocabulary posters to celebrate literacy and students wealth of knowledge.
Writing:
In writing we focussed on including great attention grabbers into our papers. We also spent time reviewing punctuation and onomatopoeia.
We continued working on our personal books (the writing piece we will be getting published). Over the last two weeks we have worked to finish our rought draft, and begin the editing process.
Math:
In Math we continued working in chapter three. We continued at perfecting our multiplication tables, as well as work with division, and basic fractions.
Social Studies/Science:
On October 21, we took a field trip to the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. During our visit we viewed famous works of art about Florida, roamed the gardens to discover and discuss different types of plants and pollinators, explored the hands-on interactive area, and painted our own landscape art.
