Week 10 Update (and final Project Week details)

Hello!

Only three more half days until winter break! On Tuesday, we'll be having our Middle Ages celebration. Thank you to all of you who have signed up! There's still room for volunteers, if you're available that morning. Check here for more details: http://signup.com/go/WcSMBZe.

"Paul Revere's Ride" is the fourth grade project for Project Week. It will be recited the first two days back from Winter Break (January 8th and 9th). Parents are welcome to watch their child recite the poem. Just email me if you would like to come and I'll give you an approximate time for your child's turn. 

Academic Overview:

We will continue learning about author's purpose and theme this week. There will be an activity with idioms and we will also have time to work on the poem.

This week in Math, we will conclude our unit on measurement with a unit test. This test will be structured like the previous one on fractions. On Monday, the students will take the test and after that, I will go through them, highlighting incorrect answers and work. It is most beneficial for the students’ learning if they show all their work, so I can highlight exactly where they started to go wrong. On Wednesday, I will hand back the test and the students will be able to correct the highlighted problems for full credit.

In science, we will continue learning about weather. We will focus on thunderstorms and lightning.

In history this week we will finish our unit on Islamic Empires. We will study the Crusades, why they occurred and the impact they had on Islamic and Christian Empires as well as the world around them. We will take a quiz on Wednesday. Students already have the study guide to use to prepare for this quiz.

Have a great week!
