Hi Parents! Welcome to the 4th quarter! Can you believe the year is already 75% over? That doesn't mean we're quite ready to wind things down in the classroom, though.
This week in math, we're reviewing chapter 11 and will be having a test on Thursday. Tonight's homework is part of our review: page 632. If you want more, ask your child to explain how to use fractional parts of a circle to figure out the measure of the angle of that fractional part. For example: how many degrees is an angle that represents 1/3 of a circle?
In Language Arts, we're still working on publishing our poetry anthologies. My hope is that we'll be able to perform in our own 4th grade poetry slam by the end of April! In reading this week, students are working on finding the main idea of a non-fiction passage and answering text-dependent questions. Students are also practicing their skills in responding to a prompt based on something they've read.
We won't be doing much Social Studies and Science this week, since this week is our 4th grade performance. Come on out on Thursday at 2:00 to watch our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders perform!
Have a great evening, and please let us know if you have any questions!
