Welcome to 4th Grade!
Stay up to date with current events happening in our class!
Cougar's Call: On Monday students will write down their new February spelling words. The test will be Friday, March 2nd. They will start their monthly spelling menu and Wordly Wise. Those will be due on March 2nd. On Tuesday we will swap for targeted math instruction. The other days will be used to catch up on writing and Integrated Studies work.
Math: In math this week we are wrapping up Unit 8 on equivalent fractions and comparing fractions. On Monday we will compare fractions using a number line. Tuesday and Wednesday we will use what we know about comparing fractions to solve in word problems. Thursday we will review the Unit 8 study guide. Please be sure that your child brings in the study guide Thursday! On Friday students will take the Unit 8 Assessment for a formal grade. Literacy: We are continuing our historical fiction book club unit this week. This week we will discuss symbolism, minor characters, tone and mood. In Writing students are continuing their persuasive writing papers. Students should now have an introduction, body and concluding paragraph drafted. We will revise and edit this week and publish to turn in by Monday, 2/12. While we have had time to work in class, students may need to bring their drafts home to revise, edit or publish before the due date. Ask your child how their paper is going :) Integrated Studies: Last Friday we discussed the three branches of government in the United States. This week we will discuss the three branches of government here in North Carolina. Students will begin the week researching the leaders of our state. Then they will get to decide which branch of government they think they would work best in. The later part of the week we will hold a government simulation where we try to pass a new class rule! This simulation will show students how bills become laws.
