Hello Fourth Grade Families,
Happy Holidays!
Important Dates: 12/20 Pajama Day 12/21 Winter Break begins 1/2/18 School Resumes 1/16 4L Nature Vision 3/27 Fourth Grade Music Concert Monday Take Home Folders/Return to School every Tuesday: Sign and Return: Signed and tallied December Reading Log (in binders), student self-assessed updates Review and Keep at Home: Math pages, holiday art presents for families! Empty Monday Folder due back every Tuesday Goal for the Week: No goal or update this week! Coming up this week in class: We're continuing long division in our Walk-to-Math learning, finishing our Natural Resources topic in science, taking a non-fiction reading skills quiz, sharing our informational text and slideshow about an animal, making prints in our Museo art lessons, wishing Jack good luck in his new school in Texas, and celebrating the holidays together before break! Multiplication and Division Morning Help: As our walk-to-math students work hard to master 2-digit x 2-digit multiplication and long division during the upcoming math topics, those students who need a little extra help are invited to come in at 8:40am for extra practice (the teachers will be available to students from all the walk-to-math/homeroom classes). All students should be practicing math facts at school and at home right now – multiplication and division fact fluency are essential for success in 4th grade math!

We've started a new unit in Stemscopes Science: Using Earth's Resources. First, we'll be focusing on Natural Processes, with an emphasis on how human beings can plan for and respond to natural hazards. Next we'll be looking at Renewable and Non-Renewable Resources. In this unit students will be gathering information through research, using the design process to explore possible solutions to challenges humans face, and continuing to write CER's (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) to show their scientific thinking.
