October is here and the fourth graders are working hard!!!!
In Religion class, we are learning about our conscience and making good choices. In computer class, we just finished writing a news article. The students are busy learning pre-algebra. The kids are doing very well with variables and expressions, and finding the missing addends. In language class, the children have learned about simple predicates/complete predicates, and compound predictes. They are doing great and putting their skills taught to use in their daily writing. The students took on the role of a real estate agent and had to create a haunted house. The class then had to write a boo-tiful, descriptive article about their haunted house that was for sale in the newspaper. These great articles and haunted houses are on display in the grade 4 hallway. Come and visit if you dare!!!!!!!
Thanks to Mrs. Anderson for getting the kids the real estate booklets.

The fourth graders made it through the 3rd and 4th weeks of school. The students got paid for their jobs and Mrs. DelVecchio opened The DelVecchio Store for the first time this year! In math we have been learning about place value and rounding numbers. We have learned a catchy rhyme to help us to remember when to round up. We have been busy writing descriptive paragraphs and adding lots of details! We have had 3 labs in science. We learned about cells, artificial sponges and real sponges and volume. In social studies we are learning about natural resources. In Spanish we are learning the months of the year!
This week in Mrs. DelVecchio's last week we played educational games, read books, and learned in all subject areas!!!! We are learning new strategies in math and focusing on number sense. We had our weekly spelling test and are learning new vocab words. We talked about reference books such as; encyclopedias, dictionaries, and almanacs. We are learning to take notes, and highlight important information, so we can study for tests. This is surely going to be a great year!!

Another great week has past! The students are very eager to learn. We are going to have a great year!
I hope everyone enjoyed their summer. It is hard to believe that summer is over and another school year has begun! I am very excited about the school year. I have lots of fun and exciting activities planned for the students.
Everyone should have received a few items from me regarding school. Homework will begin Aug 31st. Homework should be returned to school the next day, unless stated.
If you have not returned the student/handbook forms, photo likeness and emergency info. please do so.
Please visit the website on a weekly basis for important information. I will also post weekly a brief description of our week in review in Grade 4. The 4th grade reporters will write a summary of our class events for all of you to view!

This was the first week of school in Mrs. DelVecchio's 4th grade class. We are learning how to spend money wisely for when we get older. We are learning how to use a checkbook with Mrs. DelVecchio's new banking system. We are also improving our cursive writing and doing a math review! Mrs. DelVecchio's class is fun! There is a lot going on in her class that will help your child in years to come.
