Weekly Update

Writing
Students are celebrating their final Informational Books this Friday with the whole fourth grade!  I am excited for them to share their hard work and learn about their friends' topics!  

Reading
We have started book clubs and have a good start in the books.  Students are interested in the books and are having good conversations so far.  It is important that they keep up with the assigned reading (a few chapters) and book club role sheet so that they don't let their group down!  Book clubs meet every Wednesday and Friday.  

Math
We have started Chapter 10 on decimals and fractions.  So far, we have converted fractions with denominators of 10 (tenths) or 100 (hundredths) into decimals.  Next we will add those fractions and write the answers as decimals, order and compare decimals, and work with word problems involving decimals.  This chapter goes fast, and the Chapter 10 Test is set for Monday, March 7th.  

Science
We have finished our study of static electricity and are working with current electricity.  This is such a fun and interesting subject for the students, and they are enjoying it! 

  Other Important Info.
  • This Friday, 3/5 is a Half Day with dismissal at 11:50.  Please make sure your child knows how they are going home.  
  • Friday also marks the end of Third Quarter.  I am currently updating grades into SIS.
