This Week's Academic Focus

Reading: Students all have a new individual reading goal that has been recorded in their "reader's notebooks". We will continue meeting weekly in small groups and individual reading conferences. These strategies are intended to be added to their "reading tool kit". The whole class goal will be to focus on the Main idea/details in fiction.

Writing: Will begin the persuasive writing process

Math:  We will begin Unit 3 Extending Operations to Fractions this week. 

Link to families for Unit 3 Extending Operations to Fractions

Illustrative Mathematics. (Here is the link if you are interested in looking at the program). 

Science: We will begin Energizing Everything Unit. Students will explore energy, energy transfer, and electricity. 

Link to Mystery Science Energizing Everything Unit.

Social Studies:  The focus will be Human Geography in the United States and the push & pull factors of migration to America. I will use different interactive read alouds along with this unit to give our class background knowledge for certain historical events that have taken place regarding migration. This unit preludes a big historical presentation that each 4th grader will do that will take a few months to complete. More information is to come. 


Positivity Project focus this week is Optimism.








Important Information 

We have a peanut-sensitive classroom. Below is a list of snacks and foods allowed in our classroom for everyday snacks, and holiday parties. All of these items need to be packaged and bought from a store, unopened with visible food labels. No homemade items. 
In addition, please make sure that everyday snacks sent in are also quick and easy for your child to handle. For example please no yogurt, pudding, uncut fruit, or messy items for everyday snacks. This avoids spilling on our school devices, furniture, etc.  Thank you for your understanding. 

We love to celebrate birthdays! For students who would like to celebrate their birthdays in our class please bring in non-food items. For example instead of cupcakes maybe pencils.
