Here is what is going on in the classroom!
Math: We will wrap up unit 5 early next week and shift our focus to division. Division can be tricky, but luckily we have become multiplication experts which will make it a breeze. Keep practicing those facts!
Reading: We have begun our first chapter book, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, by Judy Blume. The class has really enjoyed this book so far and is already looking forward to their next one. The quiz on the book will be on November 12th.
Science: We have begun our unit on energy. We will discuss how:
- Energy can be converted from one form to another.
- Electricity can transfer energy from place to place.
- Light, sound and heat also transfer energy.
- Vocab Terms: Energy, Energy Transfer, Generator, Batteries, Solar Cell, Motion Energy, and Wind Turbine
Religion: In Unit 5 we will learn about what Jesus tells us about God’s forgiveness and love through the sacraments of Penance and Reconciliation.
Social Studies: It is almost time to start our next region, The West. We will be looking at the geography, climate, resources and land formations. Get ready to help your student study the next set of Capitals! (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii).
