Miss Gorman's Class

It is a big week for my grade four class this week!

They will be writing a Social Studies quiz tomorrow on the three reasons that explorers explore (knowledge, power, and wealth)

On Thursday they write a Math test on modeling multiplication problems (rectangles and using base ten blocks), and also using the expanded form method to solve:

54 X 6
(50 + 4) x 6
(50 x 6) + (4x6)
300 + 24
= 324

On Friday they will have to do a demand piece of writing that explains the procedure of something (playing a game, directions, or how to make something). The last demand piece that was completed in class was sent home today - please review to see what 6 traits of writing they are being graded on.




Of course, they are also expected to be reading each night at home.

Keep up all of your hard work!!!
