Here is what's happenings this week:
Writing: Because we are attending two field trips this week, we will only have a few days of writing. We are moving onto a new writing unit. The students will spend a few days this week generating writing ideas.
Word Study: Because of how crazy the schedule has been the last couple weeks, I am postponing the spelling test. Their tests will now be next Wednesday, December 6.
Social Studies: We are moving back to Social Studies this week. The students will learn how and why Europeans came to America. To make the information more exciting, students will work in partners to complete an investigation. They will take on the role of underwater archaeologists to examine objects from an explorer's sunken ship and categorize them as navigation tools, motives for exploration, or new products from the Americas.
Math: We are still plugging away with long division! We will spend this week reviewing for the test. All of the fourth graders will be split into different groups based off what concepts they need extra help with. Each fourth grade teacher will be in charge of teaching each concept. This will help every student review exactly what they need! The test will be this Friday, December 1.
It is essential that the students know their multiplication facts. Please continue working on these at home (flashcards, QuickTables, use a deck of cards, math applications...).
Reading: Each group will present their slideshows this week. After everyone has presented, the students will begin a new research project. Each group will be assigned a new natural disaster that is related to their original natural disaster. For example, the earthquake group will begin researching tsunamis and vice versa. The students will compare and contrast the two weather events.
