Hello Fabulous Fourth Grade Families!
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.
Below you will find what we will be doing for each subject this week:
ELA: This week in ELA we will be using the Wonders curriculum. We will be completing Unit 2, text set 2 focusing on reading and understanding drama. We will be reading a story called, Pecos Bill and the Bear Lake Monster. We will also begin deconstructing expository texts, and continuing to work on synthesizing sources to support our claim.
Math: This week in math we will finish module 11, Fraction Equivalence and Comparison. There will be a quiz on Tuesday January 31st, and a test on February 1st. 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.
Religion: This week we are continuing our unit on the Life of Jesus. We will be talking about his life and his ministries.
Social Studies: We will be beginning Chapter 5, A New Nation, introducing us to the battles of the War of 1812, and the writing of the Star Spangled Banner. We will also be completing a Junior Ranger Program based on Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore, MD.
Science: This week we will begin our new unit Waves of Sound, learning about how soundwaves work, and how to represent them.
I am looking forward to a fantastic week with a fabulous group of fourth graders.
Blessings,
