Hi Everyone,<br />
Below are pictures of students and senior volunteers teaching and learning. Some of the things taught and learned were how to golf, knit, use glasses and cups to make music, climb a door frame and draw (3-D shapes, Legos, trees). We also learned how to make slime, emoji, and paper airplanes as well as a volcano that erupts!<br />

<br />
I'm excited about us having the chance to work together this school year. I hope you will check this blog to keep up with exciting happenings in Room 12 and the Fourth Grade in general. Please note that this year I will also be using Seesaw as a way to communicate daily homework assignments. Seesaw will give you the opportunity as a parent to have direct notification when homework has been assigned. All homework assignments will also be recorded on the homework page of this blog. So you will be able to check homework that was assigned yesterday or even last week.<br />

I want to mention how proud I am of the effort students gave on the MCAS testing. Well done!<br />
<br />
For the last couple of weeks in ELA we have focused on learning how to take two-column notes for different types of open response test questions. The children have worked hard turning notes into essays which they have submitted to me through google classroom.<br />
<br />
We are currently reading and writing poetry in class. Poetry activities have involved representing real world objects through the use of the five senses. We have also written poetry that has us writing/brainstorming images that are part of an important memory. These poems will be published in Seesaw.<br />
<br />
In math we are finishing up Topic 11 (Representing and Interpreting Data on a Line Plot) and will begin Topic 12 (Understanding and Comparing Decimals) in the near future.<br />
<br />
In Science we are studying Earth's Changing Surface. We shook up rocks to create sand and asked the question "How did the Grand Canyon form?"<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Math</b>- We completed our work on addition and subtraction of fractions, most recently Topic 9 -<i>Understand Addition and Subtraction of Fractions</i>. Our new unit is Topic 10 <i>Extend Multiplication Concepts to Fractions</i>. The use of pictures, bar diagrams and fraction bars have helped to make fraction concepts easier to understand. We are working hard on our ST Math lessons also. We find some time each morning for ST Math. It's important for students to work on ST Math each day for 10-15 minutes as homework. This program is aligned with the math topics being taught in class and offers important support and enrichment.<br />
<br />
<b>Reading</b>- We continued our use of the two column note strategy to help us learn how to locate main ideas and details. Our strategy for finding main ideas involves locating all of the important details in a text and then finding the main idea based on those details. What do all of the details have in common? <span style="text-align: center;">We also continue learning about text structures and have completed our work on compare/contrast and cause/effect structures.</span><br />
<br />
<b>Writing</b>- We are completing our Canada/Mexico Research Projects this week! Students have been publishing to websites and Book Creator. These projects are being published in Seesaw.<br />
<br />
<b>Social Studies</b>- We completed our tour of the Southeast. We have made stops in Jamestown, New Orleans, and Montgomery. Our test on the southeast is Tuesday, April 2nd.Mr. Normanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16981260936788903900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034321086740873375.post-37647385348999581482019-02-27T15:14:00.000-08:002019-02-27T15:14:23.924-08:00February Update!Hi Everyone! We are finishing February on a productive note. I enjoyed seeing the work that has been submitted so far on Family Playlists. Thank You Room 12 parents for your patience and willingness to take part in this pilot program.<br />
<br />
In Reading we are currently studying text structures (cause-effect, description, problem-solution, sequence, compare/contrast) and learning how to write summaries of texts that use these structures. Our work in writing continues to be our Canada/Mexico research projects. Many students are close to completing their rough drafts and will soon be able to begin to edit and publish their work. Publishing will be done through a student choice of website, book creator, brochure or poster.<br />
<br />
In Math we completed Topic 6 which is a unit on problem solving and Topic 8 on equivalent fractions. Each day during the Solve and Share portion of our math lesson groups get a chance to draw their thinking out on a white board and share it with the rest of the class. I am pleased with the math discussions coming out of these experiences.<br />

We completed our Science unit on Energy and are now studying the regions of the United States. We are currently working on the Northeast Region of our country. Our studies take us to different stops around the Northeast. Below is a picture of students working on an assembly line in Hershey, Pennsylvania. One student is the wrapper cutter, the next in line is the candy placer, and the last student in line is the candy wrapper.<br />

Our New Year kicked off with the beginning of our Bridges program on Thursday, January 3rd. The Bridges program is outlined in detail in a letter I sent home in late December. Our first activity was to create Bridge Posters that show what each group of children has in common with their senior volunteer. Below is a picture of our first class. Students are sharing what they have in common with each other and their senior volunteers. Bridges occurs once a week for six weeks. Our second class focused on Schools Then and Now. Students gave their volunteers tours of the school and volunteers shared stories about what schools were like when they were children. The children asked many thoughtful questions about what classrooms looked like and if they had technology back then. This Thursday's class will focus on family traditions.</div>

<br />
In math we are learning how to divide by 1 digit numbers. An important concept is understanding how multiplication and division are related. Children also need to understand what remainders are and how remainders factor into answers to division word problems.<br />
<br />
The fourth grade has begun our Informational Writing Unit on Canada/Mexico. Over the course of last week and this week each homeroom is being taught four specific research strategies (one by each fourth grade teacher). After learning the four research strategies children return to their homerooms to complete their research and write their reports on either Canada or Mexico.<br />
<br />
In reading we answered an essential question on the book Orphan of Ellis Island using two column notes. "How does Dominic Cantori change from the beginning of the story?" The children answered this question in three paragraph essays using their two column notes as a guide.<br />
<br />
In science we began a unit on Energy. Our work focuses on understanding the energy story. How is energy transferred and transformed as it moves from one object to the next? We just had an exciting class discovering how to fill a capacitor with electrical energy and using it to make a propeller spin!<br />

I hope everyone has a great New Year! Teaching your children these past few months has been a wonderful experience. I'm looking forward to our time together in 2019. Last Friday Room 12 joined their kindergarten book buddies in Kristina Christie's room to make non-edible gingerbread men and houses. Here are some pictures from the event!<br />

In math, our focus this month has been on advanced multiplication. The children have learned how to multiply using the array and partial products methods. They have also learned how to multiply using area models. If you have not checked out Seesaw lately you will find some of their great work there!</div>

In language arts we continue to practice using our Keys to Literacy strategies when generating questions about the literature we are reading. Mr. Murphy kicked off the MCBA program in the Learning Commons and each student is actively engaged in reading at least 5 MCBA books by April. This allows students to officially vote for the book that they believe should win this school year's award.</div>

It will soon be time for Parent-Teacher Conferences. If you are unsure of your day and time please let me know and I will be in touch.<br />
<br />
In math we are completing Topic 3 in our enVision program. This unit covers the multiplication of 2, 3, and 4 digit numbers by a 1 digit number. We began by applying the commutative, associative and distributive properties of multiplication to equations. We learned how to group numbers to estimate answers to problems in our heads before engaging in paper and pencil tasks. An important understanding in this unit is that the grouping of numbers by 10s makes them more manageable and easier to compute. Being able to break numbers down by place value, multiply them and then add up the parts is a skill that helps children take ownership of mathematical tasks and to develop a deeper conceptual understanding of numbers. Example: 3x418= 3x8 + 3x10 + 3x400<br />
<br />
Guided reading lessons have focused on theme and point of view. We have learned to look at the elements of fiction (setting, plot, and character) to see what they reveal about theme. We also continue to work on building our vocabulary through research of unknown vocabulary words and i-Ready instruction.<br />
<br />
We have learned how to revise and edit our completed personal narratives. We have also continued to develop our writing fluency through the use of our writing journals.<br />
<br />
We are nearing the end of our Immigration Unit in Social Studies. In this unit we have learned some basic note taking skills as we read about and took notes on various immigrant groups who came to the United States in the early 20th Century. We also learned to interpret photographs based on the immigration experience. We did an Immigration Webquest that through pictures, videos and audio allowed the children to take the perspective of an immigrant coming through Ellis Island in the early 20th Century.Mr. Normanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16981260936788903900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034321086740873375.post-75783801857562154352018-10-18T12:41:00.000-07:002018-10-18T12:41:33.268-07:00October Update!Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
It's hard to believe we have less than two weeks left in October. I wanted to give you a brief review of the exciting happenings in Room 12!<br />
<br />
<b>Reading</b>- In guided reading we are studying the elements of fiction- setting, plot, character and theme. We are doing this through the use of high interest picture books that are rich in literary details. The children have been learning how to identify the elements of fiction in a story, use post-it notes to mark key points in the text and then to take notes in a two-column note format. They are then taking those notes and creating summaries of what they've read. <br />
<br />
<b>Writing</b>- Our Writer's Workshop is well underway. Daily writing instruction focuses on a mini-lesson (crafting leads, conclusions, adding describing words to our writing etc.) followed by independent writing time and a brief reflection at the end of instruction. We are currently in the middle of a unit on writing Personal Narratives. We have been studying mentor texts to learn about the features of a great personal narrative and then learning how to include those features in our own writing.<br />
<br />
<b>Math</b>- We completed our work on addition and subtraction of multi-digit whole numbers. We learned how to round numbers and estimate in order to check our answers for accuracy. We are now learning about factors and multiples as a precursor to learning how to multiply by 1 digit numbers. <br />
<br />
<b>Science</b>- Our unit on Plant and Animal Structures is coming to a close. The children have built pollinators and will test them to see how well they pick up pollen (baking soda) from one model flower and deliver it to another. This unit has involved the children in research, note taking, investigation, cooperative learning and the engineering-design process.<br />
<br />
The pictures below show students testing materials that will be used to create their pollinators. Which material is best at picking up pollen and dropping it off? Ask you child!<br />

If we have not yet met I look forward to meeting with you in the near future.<br />
<br />
We've had an excellent start in Room 12. In math we've worked on becoming strong independent problem solvers through the use of the 4 4s number challenge and through our work connecting visual patterns to the number system. We began our enVision math program and are currently working on understanding place value concepts. We started Writers' Workshop by sharing our life stories. Each day, we gather on the rug for a brief mini-lesson about writing and then practice our learning in our Writing Journals. I am pleased with our efforts. Reading instruction has focused on learning to categorize objects and words as a precursor for learning how to identify main ideas and details in a piece of non-fiction text. We are also learning how to become strong independent readers by learning to choose age appropriate books and apply ourselves to reading those books on a consistent basis. We discussed our histories as readers and wrote about them in our Reader's Notebooks. In science we are studying plant structures and began the unit with flower dissection. We are learning to be good observers and learning how to reflect on our observations in our digital science journals.<br />

I'm looking forward to our time together and look forward to meeting you in the near future. Parents, it is my hope that I can meet with each homeroom family for a brief 10 minute conference to learn about your child and any concerns you might have as we begin our year together in the fourth grade. I will be sending out a conference sign up form in the near future. See you soon!</span><br />

In math we covered the most important concepts in several different units in order to best prepare for the math MCAS. After MCAS we will return to many of these topics to cover them in more depth. Topics include classifying 2d figures, analyzing patterns and relationships, algebra, graphing points on the coordinate plane, and representing and interpreting data and measurement. </div>

In language arts we completed reading <u>Hatchet</u> by Gary Paulsen. Some of the activities we are involved in include : writing book reviews, answering essential questions about the text, and writing scripts about what might have happened between different characters in the story. We wrote healthy eating commercials and made infomercials that we shared in class. Look for these in Seesaw! We are also working on our narrative writing skills and are actively planning stories through the use of two-column notes.<br />
<br />
In science we completed our animal enclosure projects. Last Friday we presented our enclosures to the 2nd grade. They were eager to visit and ask us questions about the design process since they are working on a habitat unit in science. Now we are preparing for the Science MCAS test which will take place next Wednesday and Friday, May 16-17.<br />

Even with all the disruptions we found our way through Topic 8 in math. Multiplication of fractions (including mixed numbers) was challenging for many students. I am available for morning support in math on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 8 am. We are currently learning how to divide fractions, both whole numbers by fractions and fractions by whole numbers. In our daily Solve and Share portion of our math lessons we create visual models that help us understand fraction concepts at a deeper level. Still, continued and consistent practice is necessary to solve problems with accuracy. It helps to keep multiplication and division facts fresh also. ST Math is a great resource for working on math fluency and is available to all students as a supplement to regular math homework assignments.<br />
<br />
In language arts we have focused our attention on preparing for MCAS testing. We've used the "Two-Column Note" strategy to gather information related to the stories we are reading and then turned our notes into written responses to the text. We've studied poetry, plays, essays and fiction. Some of our note taking work involves gathering information from a story that allows us to write a continuation to that story. The story continuations are fantastic! Our vocabulary work is focused on preparing for the science MCAS in May. Each week students are given 7 words. Their assignment paper gives them a task to perform with the words each night of the week. If you are not connected to Seesaw please consider getting connected. If you need support with getting connected let me know. You will be able to see your child's finished Planet Book and leave them an encouraging comment!<br />
<br />
In science we are studying Classification. Mr. Musselman has presented to all the fifth graders on the Design Process and students are ready to begin planning and designing animal habitats.<br />
<br />
Thursday, March 29th Kali Flanagan visited Fox Hill School! Kali talked about her dream of becoming an olympic athlete and the work it took to make that dream come true. The fifth graders asked great questions and were great hosts.<br />
<br />
Wednesday, April 4 and Thursday April 5 are the dates for MCAS testing in ELA. Our 5th grade field trip to the Concord Museum is on Tuesday, April 24th. Permission slips were sent home on Monday, April 2nd.<br />
