Week 6
Dear Parents,
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend with this continued killer weather!! It makes me so very happy :)! Not sure what I'm going to do when the rain hits!:(
*Tomorrow we have a very exciting visit from Author John Stephens who wrote Emerald Atlas and The Fire Chronicle. Many of the students in my class have already read one of his books, so this will be extra special for them. His book talk will be from 10:45 - noon on Tuesday. Books will be available for purchase tomorrow. Might be kind of fun to have a personalized signed copy of one of his books. I will send this information home with your student today.
*Please continue to check your student's planners. All homework packets are due on Friday's (this includes the TFK, Spelling Unit and reading log). All Entry Tasks are due on Friday's. Geography packs are also due on Friday's. If your student is missing something I will do my best to email you immediately. On top of emailing you I also let the student know what they are missing. After that it will be up to the student to turn in the work.
Home work packet this week:
TFK - Polar Explorer
Spelling Unit 5
Reading Log
Sr. Giovanni will be a guest teacher in my 4th grade class this week talking about the Rosary. October is the month of the Rosary.
4th Grade Math this week is all about MULTIPLICATION! Last week we worked with two digit multiplication by one digit. Today our assignment is Lesson 4.5, Three digit by one digit. Tomorrow there will not be math classes due to our guest speaker. Math on Wednesday and Thursday will be two-digit by two-digit, Lesson 4.6 and 4.7.
I have begun to give reading assessments. At conferences I will let you all know what reading level your student is at.
Today the students will be given a practice writing prompt. On Thursday they will be given their Fall Writing Assessment. There are two prompts that the students can choose from. There are 3rd grade prompts and 4th grade prompts. The writing on Thursday will be assessed and your student will be given a writing level. A second writing assessment will be given in Spring.
In Social Studies we continue to talk about Washington. This week the students will study the regional locations of Washington, Mountain ranges, mountains, cities and large bodies of water. There will be a quiz on the map of Washington on Thursday. If time allows we will begin to talk about the US Presidential Election (Who can vote, US Voting Laws, Presidential Firsts, What's a political party, and the two candidates. We will not discuss personal family voting feelings/beliefs for one candidate or another. It will all be general information.
In Science the students are working in the FOSS kit, Sun. Moon and Stars.
KEEP SHINNING SUN, have a great week!!
