Hi Parents!
We hope you all had a great weekend!
Tonight in math, students are completing the Chapter 9 Practice Test. We worked on and went over the even-numbered problems in class, but students should finish the odd-numbered problems for homework. Students who finished the homework in class were asked to take their books home and go over the assignment with a parent (or brother, sister, etc.) to make sure that they are proficient with all the concepts. Our test will be tomorrow!
In Language Arts, students are writing and publishing their Zombie PBL report. Many groups have also moved on to the "create" phase, where they will create a project based on the research and report they've been working on for the past several weeks. Students are also working on a novel study and are expected to be keeping up on the reading and assignments during the time given in class. Please check in with your child to find out how his/her reading assignments are coming along.
Finally, in Science, students are studying the reasons for day and night and for Earth's seasons. There are some resources that students can explore on our blog if they are interested.
Upcoming Events:
5/15-5/19: Book Fair BOGO
5/17: School Board Meeting, 10:00am

Daily Update 5/8
Hi Parents!
Tonight's math homework is page 517. We're working on relating fractions and decimals to money. If your child struggles, please encourage him/her to watch the video on ThinkCentral, section 9.4. Some students were able to finish their assigned homework in class, but they were asked to bring their textbook home anyway and to explain today's lesson to a parent. We will be finishing up this chapter on Thursday, will have a review next Monday, and then a test on Tuesday.
In Language Arts, students are reading a fictional novel and are responsible for reading their assigned pages and completing two reading group "jobs" per week to present to their group. Each job is designed to help students practice specific reading comprehension skills, so weekly reading grades are based upon the quality of each student's work. While ample time is given in class for students to read and complete their jobs, students may occasionally be asked to bring their work home if they are behind. Additionally, students are working on planning and writing a 5 paragraph report related to their "Zombie" Problem-based learning project.
Finally, in Science, we're beginning a unit that focuses on the relationship between the sun, moon, and Earth. Students will be learning about the phases of the moon, the seasons, and about how and why shadows move and change through the day.
Please note the following upcoming events:
5/11: Last day for CLDS School Board Nominations
5/12: Last day for GOTR Pet Supply Drive
5/15: Muffins with Mom (before school)
5/15-5/19: Book Fair BOGO
5/29: Memorial Day Holiday – no school

Daily Update 5/1
Hi Parents! Welcome to May :-)
This week in 4th Grade, we are beginning the novel study that will wrap up our 4th grade reading instruction. Students will be choosing a book and will read and discuss the book with their groups throughout this month.
In writing, we are finishing up with our Poetry Anthology (finally!). We plan to have students present their poems "Poetry Slam" style on Thursday and Friday from 10:00--10:45. Several parents have asked if they can come in and watch and, of course, we always welcome parents in our classroom. Students will sign up for either Thursday or Friday tomorrow, so if you'd like to come in, please ask your child which day he/she selected.
In math, students are working on representing fractions as decimals to the tenths and hundredths place. As a part of this math chapter, students will be working on a project based on the book "If American Were a Village," which gives a variety of demographics about the U.S. population. We'll be representing our data in fraction and decimal form, creating graphs from our data, and interpreting data by answering questions. Since we've just begun our project, tonight's homework is page 460, which is a review of previous concepts.
Finally, in Social Studies, we're still working on historical events from the U.S. Currently, we're talking about the Civil War, and later the week, we hope to be able to move on to Westward Expansion. If you and your child want a preview, try out the online version of the classic Oregon Trail.

Hi Parents!
As we close in on Spring Break, we're finishing up some things in 4th grade. We wrapped up our chapter focusing on angles with a test today, and we'll be moving on to fractions after the break. In Writing, students are expected to finish publishing the 5 required poems in their anthologies, and will be writing response paragraphs after the break. In Science, we've finished our study of electricity and will be working with Space Science when we return to school, and in Social Studies, we'll be taking a brief look at the Civil War's affect on the Southeast region before we move on to Westward Expansion.
Thanks to all the parents who came out to watch our students perform today. The kids had a great time and really enjoyed showing off their skills. Please remember our Autism Walk tomorrow; students are invited to wear a shirt in any color blue to show their support for Autism Acceptance.
Finally, since today was a test day, and we won't be starting a new topic until after Spring Break, there is no homework tonight. We hope you enjoy your evening together!

Update 4/3
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!

They've been given protractors to use; please make sure those protractors return to school!
In reading, students are reading an article about bullying and will be practicing answering text-dependent questions and finding evidence to support answers in the text. They will also practice analyzing some of the vocabulary words they encounter in the story. In writing, we're continuing to work on our poetry anthology project.
Finally, we've kicked off our "Zombie" PBL project, so be sure to ask your child to explain what he or she will be working on for the next couple of months! This project will address most of our Social Studies standards, as well as many reading and writing ones. We will continue to have Science lessons; students are finishing up a final project in the electricity unit and then will move on to working with properties of light.
Please don't forget that students are out of school on March 31 for a teacher work day. This is the last week of quarter 3, and report cards will be sent home NEXT week.
Have a great evening!
This week in math, we are working on finding the measure of angles that are separated into smaller parts. We are also continuing to work toward mastering how to use a protractor to draw and measure angles. Tonight, students should complete page 625 in their textbooks. They've been given protractors to use; please make sure those protractors return to school!
