Hi Parents!
I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend! In math we are finishing up our study of decimals. For homework tonight, students have a worksheet that requires them to write decimal amounts in a variety of ways and to express those amounts in money form. All students were encouraged to take their practice sheet from today's class activities home for help. On Wednesday, students will take a pre-assessment for Unit 8, and on Thursday, we'll begin our final math unit of the year!
In Language Arts, students have several class activities in the works. For reading, students are working on an independent book project to show off their reading skills. There are a wide variety of projects to choose from...be sure and ask your student what he/she is working on. In writing, we continue to work on our "Career" report. Students should have completed their research note-taking and, this week, are using that information to fill out a graphic organizer to help them plan. Next week, we'll be writing rough drafts, editing, and finally publishing.
In Science, students are still working on space Science. Today, we discussed the moon phases, and later this week, students will learn about the tides and shadows. After we finish this Science unit, we will work on Social Studies for the remainder of the year.
Please don't forget that our 4th grade music performance is tomorrow at 2:05. Students have worked very hard and can't wait to show off their singing skills! We hope to see you all there :-)
Finally, this week's Reader Response Blog is:
Pretend a character in your book has written a "Dear Blabby" letter asking for advice about a BIG problem. Put yourself in your character's shoes. What would the letter say? Write from the point of view of your chosen character.
Have a great evening!
