Hello fabulous fourth grade families,
This week we will be doing a variety of lessons and activities. As a reminder Friday is parent teacher conferences.
Below you will find what we will be doing for each subject this week:
ELA: This week in ELA will be reading “Animal Adaptations,” “Adaptations at Work,” and Spiders to answer the question, what helps an animal survive? We will be starting to incorporate phonics and spelling skills during small group time. Our skill this week is Prefixes. In grammar we will be focusing on fragments and run-on sentences. In writing we will begin to write an argumentative essay answering the question: Should people be forced to evacuate during a natural disaster?
Math: This week in math we finish Modules 6/7, dividing by 1 digit numbers. We will not be using IntoMath. We will be learning how to do standard division. Be sure to check google classroom for helpful handouts and videos. Please encourage your child to use graph paper to help them line up their columns. There will be a Quiz 11-15, and a test on 11-16.
Religion: This week we will continue our study of the old testament lessons, focusing on Genesis chapters 1-2.
Social Studies: This week in S.S. we will continue our second chapter of S.S.: Three Worlds Meet. We will be focusing on The Dutch and the English.
Science: As we begin to wrap up our first unit of science there will be a quiz on 11-16, please be on the look-out for a review sheet to help your child study. There are no surprises of science quizzes, everything they need to know is on the review sheet.
Blessings,
Ms. Stainkamp
