Hello Fabulous Fourth Grade Families,
Below you will find what we will be doing for each subject this week:
ELA: In ELA we will be continuing our class read-aloud, Holes by Louis Sachar. We will be focusing on understanding Stanley Yelnats character development and growth during the book. In grammar we will continue learning about verbs. In writing we will continue our unit on narrative stories.
Math: This week in math we begin module 16, multiplying fractions. There will be a quiz for module 16 on Tuesday 4-8, and a test on Wednesday 4-9. As always it is important to continue to review fact fluency at home to reinforce the skills taught in school. As always helpful videos and resources can be found on Google Classroom.
Religion: This week we will be learning about the ministry of Jesus.
Social Studies: We will finish Ch. 5, A New Nation, learning about the U.S. Constitution as well as influential figures during this time period.
Science: This week we will continue the unit of science, Electricity, Light, & Heat. In this week’s lesson, students explore how energy can be stored as height. In the activity, Bumper Coasters (Part I), students build paper roller coasters. Students release marbles down the roller coaster track to understand height energy and energy transfer.
STEM Lab: The 4th and 5th grade will also be learning about Bio Inspired Engineering concepts over the next 5 weeks. Students will be exploring the concept of camouflage.
Blessings,
Ms. Stainkamp
