We are closing out of our first chapter of the year!!! We have been discussing elevation, sea level, continents, landforms, plants and animals of Texas. For the month of October, we will begin to discuss People of Texas. We will read and learn about political region, population and look at line graphs, as well as economy, agriculture and land use. Following this chapter we will move on to the Earliest Texans beginning with Texas Indian Myths and legends.
English
We are currently wrapping up our re-cap session of basic grammar skills. We have reviewed the following: subject nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, object of the prepositions, prepositional phrases, possessive nouns, possessive pronouns, subject pronouns, synonyms, antonyms, correcting punctuation and capitalization, and beginning subject verb agreement. We will push on and begin to add in new pieces this month including the 3-point paragraph. WOOHOOO, we are ROCKING the Shurley Method out!
Reading
Ramona’s World has just been completed. What a great book to begin our 4th grade year. The children have seemed to love this classic. We will have a test over this class novel next Tuesday, September 29, 2009. We will do a review in class to help the students prepare for the test, which will be based on past chapter questions and vocabulary.Thank you to those who have sent a personal dictionary with your student; however there are still some students who have not done so. This is very important as the dictionaries I have do not always have the words that we are in search of. Remember ALL 4th grade students should be reading nightly. This is very important in keeping up their reading levels as well as their comprehension. Reading logs are due to me every other Friday. Your student’s next reading log will be due on October 2, 2009. We will begin our next class novel beginning next week. WOOOOHOOOOO!!!
