Hello Fourth Grade Families,

Who's ready for the weekend? I know I am. This weekend we celebrate my newest sister-in-law and my newest nephew to be. I love a good celebration, especially one we can have outside in these unprecedented times. I hope you have some fun "down time" planned. 

This week is our last week of Literature Circles for quarter 3. We finish Prince Caspian this week!

Let's take a look at what we're doing this week:

Language Arts - 

    Poetry - We're learning "Paul Revere's Ride" with stanza 8 due February 26th.  

   Grammar - This week we're turning our focus back to writing. We'll continue to review Grammar concepts with a quiz on Friday, 2/26.

     Literature - We'll finish Prince Caspian this week. Their next literature book, starting in Quarter 4, is Carry On, Mr. Bowditch.

    Roots - We'll have 15 derivatives this week with a spelling test on Friday. 

Math - We've been adding and subtracting decimals and will take a quiz on that on Monday, 2/22. Then we'll be multiplying and dividing decimals.

Science - Now that we've discussed all the different types of rocks, we're ready to see what you've got! If your child has a rock collection at home and you're ok with them showing them to the class, please send them in next week. We will have a table that they sit on and can be looked at but not touched. This week we'll continue studying weathering and erosion.

History - This week we'll learn about Arizona as a territory and its path to statehood. 

That's about it. We hope you're enjoying hearing about all of the wonderful things we're doing in fourth grade. Have a fantastic weekend!

Warmly,

Mrs. Scott
