Dear Fourth Grade Families,
It has been a rather interesting few days. Thank you for bearing with us through these crazy couple of days. Hopefully things will mellow out now. We are not having McTeacher night tonight due to the boil order in St. Joe. We will reschedule at a later date and let you know when we have it.
In class this week we have started working with Famous Missourians. I know the students were extremely excited to get started. We have a month of hard work ahead of us, but the final product will be worth it! Thank you in advance for all the support you provide your student!
In reading we are starting a new book Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The students really enjoy reading about this time period and they seem to be hooked already. We are also studying Missouri becoming a state in social studies which is during a time when our population of the entire state was less than the current population of St. Joseph. It is always neat to watch how interested the students become in learning the many facts that go along with this period in our history. Last, but not least, we are working with measurement in math. This week specifically it is metric measurement. The students are currently learning the metric units and how they compare to our standard units here in the U.S. Next week we will begin converting the metric measurements before quizzing and moving on to standard. We really appreciate all that you do! If you have any questions or concerns please contact your child's teacher.
Sincerely,
Fourth Grade Team
