Happy May!
Here is a glance at what took place in fourth grade this week...
Reading- This week in reading students wrapped up our poetry unit. Students took our Poetry Assessment which will be coming home today in their Friday folders. Next week, we will begin our next reading unit which will focus on how communities adapt to their environments. We will read a variety of texts including nonfiction, fiction, and poetry in order to build content knowledge about this important social studies topic.
Writing- This week students have been writing a variety of poetry to present at our Poetry Slam next Thursday, May 7th at 2:00. We hope to see you there!
Math- Students reviewed key fractions concepts, practiced solving parts-and-whole problems and finding fractional parts of whole numbers. Students also solved fraction number stories and reviewed mixed-numbers and improper fraction concepts.
Social studies- This week students learned about the diverse climate of the West region due to its size and spacing. Next week, students will learn about the natural resources of the region. We will have our West region content and states & capitals test on Friday, May 8th.
Science- In science, we finished up our simple machines unit and reviewed for our upcoming test. Students should use their study guide, machines and motions (red booklet), the simple machines handout, and their web from Inspiration that is on their iPad to study for the test. I will also add some resources to our website to assist them in reviewing. The test is on Monday, May 4th for 4I, and Tuesday, May 5th for 4H.
