We are excited for another week! Students are still working on the Weather or Not project, which is due 16 October. Students are learning about severe weather, atmospheric layers, weather instruments, and much more. The class will be participating in severe weather stations and building their own weather instruments and the use those instruments to collect data.
Fourth grade is excited to kickoff blended learning in math! This type of learning is student paced and allows for teachers to pull students in small groups to further cement the content. Be sure to ask your child about what stations they completed during math enrichment! The fourth grade teachers grade enjoyed designing lessons and stations that fits your child's interests while they will be learning the curriculum.
The class has started reviewing figurative language (simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, and onomatopoeia). The class is pulling both English Language Arts and Science together to complete a choice menu that uses figurative language to explain the Water Cycle and will be presenting their creations this Friday, October 2.
We wanted to share this great opportunity with our fourth grade families. This provides fourth graders and their families the chance to visit America's national parks, federal lands and waters free of charge. The link provides further information on this White House initiative: Every Kid in the Park. If you and your family do take advantage of this awesome opportunity, please take a photograph of you and your family at your location and email to Ms. Grimm or Ms. Saullo.
If you did not have a chance to attend Parent/Teacher Conferences last week, do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher so that a date and time to meet can be scheduled.
