Dear Fourth Grade Parents,
It has been a busy week in fourth grade!
In Reading, we…
- continued reading and analyzing Wampanoag creation stories excerpted from The Children of the Morning Light: Wampanoag Tales as Told By Manitonquat. This week, we read some tales about Maushop’s negotiations with Old Man Winter and Grandfather Sun.
In Math, we…
- completed our research for Mr. Yum Yum! We found 12 very different 3-D arrangements for a box of 200 candies. We are now eagerly awaiting our compensation in chocolate!
- figured out factors of and memorized division facts for multiples of 6,7,8,9, and 12.
- found some shortcuts for subtraction with the help of Frogurt the Frog.
In Writing, we…
- wrote rough drafts of our persuasive letters. We hope to mail our final drafts next week!
- continued using the “Publisher” program with Ms. Patrick in order to format our interviews in journalistic style.
In Theme, we…
- continued typing our reports on the Pilgrims.
We also…
- appreciated your invaluable input at conferences. We love having the opportunity to share with both you and your child how pleased we are with their progress!
Notes:
- Our field trip to the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival has been rescheduled for Wednesday, November 18. We are looking forward to this fun field trip – finally!
- Please read the enclosed information about our new reading unit. Thanks!
Have a great weekend!
Kerah & Emily
