This Week's Standards

Math
This week in math we will be working on standard 4.NBT.4. Students will be able to add and subtract large multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm. I will also be showing them some different (and hopefully new) strategies to use with subtraction.

ELA (English Language Arts)

This week in ELA we will be working on standard RI.4.2. Students will be able to find the main idea and support details in an informational text. They will then be able to summarize an informational text using evidence from the text.

Upcoming Writing Workshop

Our first writing workshop for the year will take place during the week of October 14th. The writing workshop will be during our normal class time Monday through Friday. Writing workshops are not required but are HIGHLY recommended to help students work on and improve their writing.

This month our writing workshop will come from students' Language Skills 4: Composition course. We will be completing unit 2 - Writing a Report. Students who complete the writing workshop will have their composition unit 2 marked complete and will not have to complete it in the OLS.

Our focus for research will be Famous Nevadans. Students will select a famous Nevadan to research, study, and report on from a list provided. More information on October's writing workshop will be coming later this week.
