Hello Fabulous Fourth Grade Families!

I truly cannot believe that this weekend is Memorial Day Weekend! As a reminder we will not have school Thursday May 21 – Monday May 25th. Classes will resume Tuesday May 26th.

It is essential that students bring a charged chromebook to school everyday.

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

ELA: This week we will continue to read Holes by Louis Sachar. We will be focusing on character development, and plot. We will have a comprehension test and spelling test on May 20th. In writing we will begin publishing our fictional/fantasy narratives. Students will be working on creating a picture book of their story. In grammar we continue our unit on adjectives and adverbs.

Math: This week we will begin and complete Module 19: Unit Conversions. Be sure to check google classroom for helpful handouts and videos that review the steps to solve the equations for the module There will be a quiz on Wednesday 5/20. There will be no test.
