Dear Fourth Grade Parents,
We are drawing near to winter vacation, with only 12 1/2 days to go we are busy getting things done. We are currently reading The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson. It is a very funny story about a family called the Herdman's and their experience of being in a Christmas Pageant for the first time. In writing this week we are starting a new in class project called Christmas Around the World. The students will each get a country from around the world that will research to discover their Christmas traditions, gift giving methods, day that they celebrate, the way that they dress for Christmas and more. The students usually really enjoy this project. Make sure to ask your student what country they are researching. Math is all about patterns this week. We are looking at input and out put tables where the students must follow a math rule to complete a pattern. Then, as we lead up to Christmas break we will be looking at area and perimeter as a review before we start fractions when we return in January. Last, but not least, we are working on a social studies unit currently. The students are learning about Native Americans. We are looking at the things they did when our country was being founded as well as looking at the artifacts they left behind. We are discussing the importance of both primary and secondary sources as well. We are having a great fourth grade year and looking forward to the fun leading us into break. If you have any questions or concerns please contact your students teacher!
Sincerely,
Fourth Grade Teachers
