Welcome Back! As I type this, many of you are also sitting at home in the warm and cozy. We are excited about the start of a new year and a second semester. This semester will be very important as we continue with our content and curriculum to finish out our fourth grade standards. At this point, most of our students have already developed good organization and time management that will help them be successful for the rest of their lives! Please check the following:
Reading: This week we will continue with Johnny Termain. Please check with your child's agenda for specific assignments. Mrs. Derry's class will be working on chapter 7 this week.
Writing/ELA: Students will be working on the informational draft piece. Our grammar focus will be irregular verbs.
Social Studies: This week we will focus on American Revolution battles. Please check for weekly assignments.
Math: We will begin our new module 5. This is our fraction unit. Please check the math page on the blog for a great module newsletter resource. We will build a fractional understanding and will be incorporating multiple standards versus teaching each one in isolation. There will be homework assignments most days of the week, so please check your child's agenda nightly. Maestri and Fortson have also assigned morning work that is due this Friday and a Review Packet A that is due on February 10th.
Science: This week, we begin our last major unit: Physical Science. Our first mini unit will be over matter. There will be in class notes and assignments. Please check the interactive notebooks for important content related information. The blog will be updated under Science this week!
