The Week Before the Break (11/14-11/18)

Happy Monday parents! Can you believe we only have five days until Thanksgiving break? The month of November flew by, but it'll be nice to spend time with our family and love ones and eat some awesome food. Please check out what is going on this week in fourth grade and Ms. Duke and myself look forward to seeing you parent-teacher conferences.

Math- The students will complete all of unit 3 this week, which means they will have their unit unit 3 test on Thursday. I will send home a study guide Wednesday night that will be optional. If they choose to complete it, which I highly recommend, they will receive two extra credit points on their math test.

Science - We continue to discuss different concepts that focus on weather. More specifically this week on focus will be on clouds and how the different types of clouds can help us predict the weather.

Reading- We are learning to read nonfiction text well by previewing, making connections, and identifying text structure.  The students should be reading about 15 pages per 20 minutes.  We met our goal 2 days in a row.  Make sure your child is reaching this goal at home!

Writing- The students are coming up with evidence, such as facts or mini stories, to support the reasons for their opinion essays.

Vocabulary- Word of the Day Quiz on Friday!

Word Work- Tic Tac Toe Homework is due Wednesday!

Upcoming Dates: 
November 17th- Parent Teacher Conferences 5-8pm

November 21st- Parent Teacher Conferences 8am-8pm

November 22nd - Parent Teacher Conferences 8am-12pm

November 21-28- Fall Vacation
