One more official day of vacation until we return for the final stretch of 4th grade! Amazing!
This week we will spend a bit of time reviewing for the math test next week. We will do one full practice test (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3). Extra practice/review sheets will be sent home for homework. Again, please remember that this is one test in your child's year and they shouldn't get too worried about it. They should get a good night sleep, eat a good breakfast, and do their best work.
We will be continuing our unit on Literary Essay this week. It will continue to involve reading as well as writing. We will choose great characters and books to read as part of our study.
In Reading Workshop, we will begin a unit of Historical Fiction. This unit will help us to focus on the importance of setting and time period on literature. I look forward to seeing the great thoughts my readers have on the books they will be reading.
We worked on science centers on Friday before break and did not have a chance to finish - we will work on these this week as well. These centers focused on the water cycle, animal adaptations, food chain, weighing objects, electricity, force, and magnetism.
Please make sure you check your teammates folders before they return to school on Monday... some of them were bursting at the seams last week!
