News from the 4th Grade

Math News
We will be taking the Division unit test on Wednesday. We will be doing a couple of fun holiday multiplication and division activities throughout the week as well to continue brushing up on our facts.
Don’t forget to master those 5 ALEKS topics by Sunday night. Most students should have them mastered by the time they get home on Friday, but they know how to check and see what still needs to be completed.
When we get back from Winter Break, we will start a new unit on Geometry. Students will learn about shapes, lines, and angles. It will be lots of fun!
Science News
We had a lot of fun making our Solar System books this week and learning about the 8 planets. These were due today and I will be working on grading them over the next little while. It was also fun seeing the mnemonic devices that students created to remember the planets. Next week we will be working on a fun project with a book about the space and creating videos to share our information with the class.
Language Arts News.
Next week students will finish reading “Dear Mrs. LaRue,”and take a quiz. Did you know that your students can use their reading text when taking the quiz? Then we will focus on the skills for this story - prefixes, words with silent letters,and using text clues to draw conclusion. Did you know that students can also earn 1 point extra credit for putting the correct page number beside their answer for each question on the text except the vocabulary questions? 
Social Studies News
The students will have a test on Colonial America next week. Then we will begin to examine events that led up to the American Revolution.
Fourth Grade News
Are you looking for a stocking stuffer for your child? How about a new set of earbuds! Students must have a set of earbuds everyday in class in order to complete their work. They tend to break fairly often, so maybe every grab a few while you’re at it. They sell them at the Dollar Store and the Good Dollar here in Blythewood. Having a spare pair at home will help when they break in class so that students don’t have to go days without being able to complete their work.
The next Spirit Day will be on Friday, December 16th.
Our Holiday Class Parties will be held on Friday, December 16th. More information will come home in the near future with sign up sheets.
