Welcome to 4th Grade!
Stay up to date with current events happening in our class!
Alright, here is our last weekly update for the year! Here's what we have to look forward to heading into this 3-day week before Winter Break!
In Cougar's Call Monday we will be finishing up our unfinished work and working on word work. Tuesday we will switch for targeted math instruction. Wedneday we will start the morning with our December Words Spelling Test and exchange our compliment "gifts" to each other in class. Our class wanted to do something nice for each other, so without spending money we are creating compliment presents. On Friday, students drew 6 names in which they are secretly writing thoughtful compliments to classmates. We will reveal compliments Wednesday morning! In Math this week we will continue our unit in geometry, focusing on classifying quadrilaterals. By Wednesday, we will begin exploring symmetry. In Literacy we will wrap up our historical fiction book club. Students have really enjoyed reading these exciting texts! I've never seen students so engaged in reading multiple chapters at once in a class setting! I encourage them to keep reading this genre if they find it enjoyable! On Wednesday we will wrap up a little early due to our Winter Party! In Integrated Studies we will finish up our study of the phases of the moon. We will wrap our study up with a lab where we recreate the 8 phases of the moon using oreos. Students will be able to demonstrate the phases using the cream of the oreos before eating the cookie.
