Hello parents! I hope that you all had a fantastic weekend. Please do not forget to sign up for Parent Teacher conferences which are coming up at the end of November. It is a first come, first serve basis and the spots fill up quickly! Take a look at what is happening this week in fourth grade:
Math: Unit 2 will be coming to end this week in math which means they will have their unit test. Their test will be given on Thursday and a study guide will be sent home on Wednesday. If they complete their study guide, it is worth two extra credit points on their test, but they do not have to do it.
Science: We continue to work through our unit on Earth's Water. The students will be learning about the different water sources and their different characteristics. We will also be having a short quiz this Friday on the content they have learned so far in the unit. They will be completing a study guide on Wednesday that they can take home and study Wednesday and Thursday night. Please look out for this coming home!
Reading: We are learning how to make interpretations about what we are reading. Students are synthesizing skills to identify story elements and use those elements to come up with a theme. Please continue to read at home and fill out the reading log! Reading everyday is extremely important in order for your child to become a better reader.
Writing: We continue to publish our realistic fiction stories this week. The students are doing a great job with publishing like real authors! Once they turn in their finished work to Ms. Duke's Google Classroom page they are free to start the writing process over with a new story of their choice. We will pay close attention to conventions and grammar as we write throughout the day.
Word Work: New word sorts have been given out. Tic Tac Toe Homework will be due next Day 6, Oct. 21st!
Social Studies: We are using map keys and map scales, as well as longitude and latitude to find places on a map. Soon we will begin a unit in Pennsylvania history.
