Hi Parents of the incoming 5th grade class of 2010! I hope you are looking forward to learning all about the 5th grade curriculum in Room 11 next year. In case you were wondering, this is a short list of what your child should know after a year in 4th grade.
By the end of fourth grade you can expect your child to:
Begin to make more decisions and engage in group decision-making
Want to be part of a group
Think independently and critically
Have empathy
Show a strong sense of responsibility
Be able to memorize and recite facts, although he may not have a deep understanding of them
Increase the amount of detail in drawings
Work on research projects
Write a structured paragraph with an introductory topic sentence, three supporting details and a closing sentence that wraps up the main idea of the paragraph.
Use a range of strategies when drawing meaning from text, such as prediction, connections and inference
Understand cause and effect relationships
Add and subtract decimals, and compare decimals and fractions
Multiply multi-digit numbers by two-digit numbers (26 x 5,348)
Divide larger multi-digit numbers by one-digit numbers (1215 / 3)
Find the area of two-dimensional shapes
Have a greater awareness of fairness issues
