Dear Families,

    The fourth grade has been working diligently since the first day of school!  Each student has transitioned beautifully into our class.  I would like to review what the students are currently working on, so they can continue at home.

Math- We are working in Module 1, which focuses on place value, rounding, and algorithms for addition and subtraction. Below are the topics broken down even further.

Topic A: Place value of multi-digit whole numbers

Topic B: Comparing multi-digit whole numbers

Topic C: Rounding multi-digit whole numbers

Topic D: Multi-digit whole number addition

Topic E: Multi-digit whole number subtraction

Topic F: Addition and subtraction word problems

** PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD HAS THE MULTIPLICATION TABLES MEMORIZED **

ELA- We began learning our rules and routines for the Benchmark curriculum so we can effectively master the learning targets set forth in the first unit. Unit 1 of Benchmark integrates a lot of social studies content in this unit.  Students can access Benchmark online through Clever.  Don't forget to ask your son or daughter about Mr. Jupiter from our class read aloud.

Science- Using the HMH curriculum, students will conduct investigations and experiments using the online platform for HMH. 

Social Studies- In addition to the information learned in Benchmark about the constitution and government, students will learn about the geography in New York state and the impact it has on community members, the environment, animals that inhabit the area etc.

Please contact me with any comments or questions at mrusso@yonkerspublicschools.org or 914 376 8969. 

Sincerely, 

Ms. Russo
