We are off and rolling in our third quarter.
In Writing: We are learning about Science and renewable and nonrenewable energy. Students will have a quiz on this in two weeks on January 23rd. They should be studying at home on quizlet starting Tuesday night.
Projects:We are reviewing and learning about gravity, air resistance, Earth and our universe and lastly, we will be learning about shadows.
4th Grade Writing: We are learning all about helping verbs this week.
Reading: We will be reviewing our reading strategies that we learned before break and will be learning new ones starting next week. We will be starting a new class novel called Wonder. This is a great novel and I can't wait to start reading it with your kiddos.
A Couple Important Announcements:
- Our class is going to start a nightly reading log. Your child will come home with a reading log. They are to read for 15 minutes and spend 5 minutes writing a short summary on what they read. This is basically who, what, why, when, where, and sometimes how. If you could just initial this after your child reads and fills this form out that would be great.
- I sent out an email from Mrs. Barton. If you could please send in a flashlight with your child for a fun music project that would be great.
- Auctions! We never did auctions for 2nd quarter because of all the craziness. If you could send your child in with one item that would be great. This can be any small item that you wish, something from the Dollar Store, something laying around the house that doesn't get used, or if your child wants to make something. I have contributed to this as well. Thank you in advance for sending in items.
I think that wraps up our 1st week back, please email me if you have any questions or concerns:)
