Hello Fabulous Fourth Grade Families!

Below you will find what we will be doing for each subject this week:

We will also be starting our unit of argumentative writing. Students will be beginning to write their argumentative essay answering the question, did the patriots have the right to begin the American Revolution? In grammar we will continue our study of verbs. 

Math: This week in Math we complete Module 10, algebraic number theory. We will be learning about divisibility rules, factors, and multiples. There will be a quiz on 1/15 and a test on 1/16. Students DO not have to memorize their divisibility rules, they will be given them for the test and quiz. Helpful handouts, videos, charts, reteach pages, and the HW can all be found on Google Classroom and are excellent resources. 

Religion: In religion we return to our study of the old testament, starting our Second Religion Unit: God Leads His Nation.

Our next S.S. project, Revolution Bottle Biographies will be due on 1/28. We will be presenting our projects on 1/28 to 1/30.
