Fourth grade has been very busy. In Reader’s and Writer’s Workshops, we have been having fun learning about realistic fiction. We even wrote our own realistic fiction stories and are in the process of publishing them. We had so much fun reading realistic fiction books and creating our very own characters for our stories. In math, we have been learning to multiply using area models and partial products. We are now just beginning to divide using partial quotients.  In Science we have been learning about how wind, water, chemicals, and even living things can shape the land. In social studies, we have been learning all about our home state of New York. We have learned about New York’s regions and waterways.  Next, we will be learning about the Native American groups who live in New York.
