Additional Resources
Our fourth grade students are currently multiplying and dividing multi-digit numbers in mission 3.
In reading and writing, we are determining the theme in Traditional Tales that are related to Cinderella. This is helping us write strong arguments about the theme of a traditional text in the form of an opinion essay. In Science we are learning about how energy is transferred through a food chain. In Social Studies, we are learning about the first groups of Native Americans to inhabit New York.
