Hello Fabulous Fourth Grade Families!

Happy New Year!! I hope that you all had a restful and enjoyable Christmas Break with your families!! 

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

ELA: This week we will be starting our next class readaloud, I survived the American Revolution, 1776 by Lauren Tarshis   Unfortunately, I do not have a class set for this book. There will be a vocabulary and comprehension test on Friday January 16th. 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 begin 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 this week we begin our learning about the three kings. 

Social Studies: In S.S. we continue Chapter 4, New York in the Revolution. We will be learning about the causes of the American Revolution. 

Science: This week we will be staring our new unit of science, animal and plant adaptations. We will be answering the question, why do some sea creatures look so strange.
