This Week in Fourth Grade...
Math: This week in math we are preparing to take our first math test. We began reviewing last week, and will continue on Monday. On Tuesday students will take their Topic 1 test to assess their understanding of concepts we've focused on so far in the school year. Encourage your children to maintain a growth mindset as they prepare for the test!
Religion: We will be finishing up Chapter 2 this week, and taking our Chapter 2 test later in the week. I really enjoyed the conversations we had last week all about the Beatitudes, and we will continue to focus on the Beatitudes as we review for our test. After we complete Chapter 2, we will begin Chapter 3 which focuses on the free will God gives us.
Reading/Language Arts: Our Essential Question we will explore during our Daily 5 Reading time this week is: How can science help us understand how things work? We will be reading a narrative nonfiction story about forces and motions, all taking place at an amusement park!
In Writer's Workshop students are continuing their rough drafts of their personal narratives!
In Class Novel we are continuing to read James and the Giant Peach! Students are really enjoying our story so far!
Science: Moving right along in our unit: Processes that Shape the Earth's Surface, this week we are learning all about Rocks and Fossils! Students will explore the different types of rocks, and identify the ways fossils have helped scientists throughout history!
Social Studies: We are just about finished traveling through the Northeast Region of the United States! Students have explored geography, climate, popular attractions, and natural resources throughout our beautiful region. This week we will bring together all we have learned, and summarize and review our findings.
Have a blessed week!
Mrs. Drury
