Happy New Year!
The 4th graders have a busy week ahead! Please take a moment to review what we will be covering over this week. It is important that students bring in a charged chromebook to school each day.
Our Physical Education Special on Tuesday has been moved to Thursdays at 10:40-11:20 for the month of January. Please be sure that your child wears sneakers on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s for January. As the weather begins to get colder please ensure that your child is bringing an appropriate jacket to school each day. We will be going outside every day we can, it is important that your child is dressed appropriately.
This week we will be taking the TerraNova Tests. To help your child do their very best please ensure that they get a good night sleep, and eat a good breakfast. Students should also have two sharpened #2 pencils and a water bottle in school everyday next week. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns about the TerraNova tests.
Below you will find what we will be doing for each subject this week:
ELA: This week in ELA we will be reading a combination of short stories and nonfiction texts from the December/January Storyworks. These include, Rescue from the Rainforest and Following Boo.
Math: This week in math we will begin module 11, Fraction Equivalence and Comparison. Students will be given a set of Fraction Strips to come to and from school. Please remember to check google classroom for reteach pages, HW, and helpful handouts or videos. Students are encouraged to practice their fact fluency each night. It is vital that students are familiar and comfortable with their multiplication facts.

Social Studies: Our S.S. project will be due on Wednesday 1-18. Students have selected a revolutionary era icon to study, and create a bottle biography. Students will be asked to give a short presentation on their person. Please encourage students to practice their presentation at home. We will be presenting on Thursday and Friday.
