Happy Friday! Students did an excellent job of persevering through their MAP tests!
Here is a glance at what took place in fourth grade this week...
Reading- Students discussed the mood of a poem and what words the author used to create the mood. They also learned how the structures of poems can vary. Next week, we will be finishing our poetry unit.
Writing- Students are in the final phases of revising and editing their ecosystem feature articles. We will be publishing these articles early next week! Students will begin writing their own poetry next week as well.
Math- Students wrapped up unit 4 and began reviewing. Our Unit 4 Assessment will take place on Tuesday, April 28th. Students will be coming home with their study guides this weekend and we will have an additional review on Monday. We will begin 5th grade unit 5 next week.
Social Studies- Due to MAP testing and our field trip, students only had social studies one day this week. We introduced the West Region! Ask your child what states are in this region?
Science - We had a great field trip to the Hinsdale Library to explore inclined plane height and ramp length to see how far our cars would travel. Students will be wrapping up the unit on simple machines and be completing study guide next week.
Upcoming Dates to Remember:
