Dear Fourth Grade Families,
Winter break is quickly approaching. This week is going to be busy! The students will be attending holiday mart this week as well as finishing up STAR testing before break.
In math we are going to be working a lot on fractions and the introduction to them. They will be getting familiar with recognizing and making equivalent fractions as well as comparing and ordering them later in the week. In science we are still working on ecosystems and will be doing an adaptations activity this week. In reading we are continuing to read The Best Christmas Pageant Ever with the Herdman family and their shenanigans. The students are really enjoying this read and we will be doing several activities to go along with the book as well this week. In writing we are continuing our opinion pieces and working on getting those published this week. Last, but not least this weeks spelling is list 11 over contractions. The hardest part of this list will making sure they get the apostrophes in the correct place.
Please check with your student to make they get their December book project turned in. We also look for ward to all the events coming up. The 18th is the school wide spelling bee and our 3 fourth grade winners will represent us that afternoon at the assembly at 1:30. If your child has not yet met their AR goal please encourage them to as the AR party is the 20. Then, we will end the week on the 21st with their holiday parties at 9:30. If you have any questions as always please contact your students' teacher and thank you for all that you do to support our students at home. These kids are lucky!
Sincerely,
The Fourth Grade Team
