4th Grade April 29th-May 3rd

In math we are reviewing for the end of year test. We have been sending home review worksheets for homework. Please make sure that your student completes and turns in these homework sheets. I will not be able to make extra copies of these worksheets; I have already warned students of this. In Writing we are working on performing our plays. Students are in 3 groups working on 3 different plays. They are in charge of that play. They are figuring out costumes, sets, props, etc . . . All parts except for narrator parts need to be memorized. We will be performing these plays on Wednesday May 22nd. Also, please remind your student to turn in their Pourquois Tale book. I gave students extra time to finish illustrating their books, but most students have forgotten to turn this in to me. I am grading these and giving them right back to the students. They have turned out excellently! Make sure to look at your student’s book to see their wonderful creation!

This week in math we will be learning about integers. These are positive and negative numbers. We will be learning how to add and subtract them, after which we will focus on reviewing for the end of the year tests. In writing we are finishing our poetry unit. Students are receiving blank books. In class they are working on writing their 10 collected poems in them as well as at least 5 of their own poems that they have written in their Poetry Notebook. They need to handwrite neatly or type, cut, and glue these 15 poems into their book. Then they need to illustrate their book. This unit, including the completed book, finished Poetry Notebook, and memorized poem, are due on Monday, May 6th. Students will then share their published books and recite their memorized poem.
