Welcome to 4th Grade!
Stay up to date with current events happening in our class!
Hi C3 Families! We've had another successful week of 4th grade. Everyone is just now getting into the flow of how our day works. Here's what we have going on next week:
In Cougar's Call we will continue working on the first Wordly Wise packet together as a class and practice using that vocabulary. We will also do some fun spelling activities to better prepare for the spelling test at the end of the month! On Friday we will end the week with a science experiment, morning meeting, and a reflection of the week. In Math we will have our first assessment (for a formal grade) on place value on Tuesday. To prepare, a study guide was sent home in your child's agenda today! While the study guide is not for a grade, I HIGHLY recommend each student completes the pages to ensure they are ready for the first test of the year! Let me know if you think your child needs additional support, and I can send home some extra resources or recommend some helpful sites. On Thursday we will move into our new unit, Adding 4-digit number with regrouping.

Students will write down the name of their Literacy teacher in their agenda on Monday. If you have questions, let me know! Each group with start the week with focusing on characters. On Tuesday students will take a short quiz (for an informal grade) on character desires and obstacles. By the end of the week, we will learn more about static and dynamic characters. In Writing, students are learning the steps to the writing process. Students have already chosen a topic. Now they will use that topic to draft a formal essay. The writing process will take a few weeks but will eventually be for a grade. I'll keep you updated :) In Integrated Studies we are learning about North Carolina's resources. Students will be broken up into groups to explore a resource and create a video in class about that topic! We will spend the week researching and by Friday hope to present all videos in class.
