They created new year's resolution mobiles for the start of 2017.
Last week, the students all participated in the fourth-grade classroom spelling bee. Jim and Aria from our class made it to the final round. Congratulations!
The students will be swimming in P.E next week and will continue to work with recorders in music class.
There will be a bake sale sponsored by the student council this Thursday, January 19th. Students can bring money to purchase baked goods during their lunch hour.
There will be a YAC for 4th and 5th-grade students on Friday evening.
Math- This is quite a challenging unit for 4th-grade students. We are currently focusing on multiplication and addition comparison word problems. Students need to draw comparison bars and write equations with variables to solve these problems. Later this week, we will move to two-step, three-step, and four-step word problems. It is important that students take their time with these and reread them at least twice to comprehend what is being asked in each problem. The students need to make sure they label their answers.
Social Studies- Chapter 4 social studies is about explorers and the fur trade in Wisconsin from 1600 to 1840.
Spelling- The students will be taking their spelling tests tomorrow (Wednesday), as we ran out of time last Friday. They should have their word lists written in their assignment notebooks on the week of January 2nd. The students will be getting a new list of words this week, with a test on Friday the 27th.
Reading- We are beginning our nonfiction unit in reading this week. The students are currently reading nonfiction books of choice, but will soon be switching to weather topic books. Please make sure your child is doing their 25 minutes of reading per night.
Writing- Students will be completing their final drafts of their opinion essays tomorrow. After that, we will move into the persuasive essay.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Becker
