Hello Amazing Parents,
Well, we have finished another week! Congratulations to Campbell Cummins, Gabrielle Gavranovic, Rohan Kumar, Sophia Long and Neha Ravula for making our Science Olympiad Team! Congratulations team!! We start next Wednesday, 10/7 from 2:45-4:00.
I am finding that several of the students are not completing assignments which impacts their grades. Please keep up-to-date with this blog so you will know what your child needs to be completing each week.
We had a map and a democracy vocabulary quiz this week. The students did very well on these; however, we are going to have a major democracy assessment on Monday. Please study over the weekend. Refer to last weeks notes for social studies to help guide and prepare your child for this test. I sent all the students home with their social studies book and their notebook filled with our notes we have been taking in class. I can tell many of the students have studied and were very prepared for these quizzes this week. They felt very confident and ready so they could be successful. It makes a big difference :)
After our democracy assessment, we will start a unit on pollution. Your child needs to go on my website under science lessons and begin to watch the BrainPop videos, complete the quizzes, and submit them to me. I noticed that for the democracy BrainPop videos many of the students watched the video, but didn't submit the quiz. They will need to make this up so I can post these grades. They will also be making a Pollution Solution brochure that they will be presenting in class and be putting on our bulletin board.
We will also have another reading assessment this week. Since it is a short week and we have a field trip we won't have a computer lesson this week in reading.
If you are in Ms. Lamaster's math:
Sorry, it is a short week and we have TAG and a field trip, so it would be too much to complete a computer lesson this week. We will continue numbers, operations, and algebraic thinking. The students are doing better with their multiplication facts, but still need a lot of practice with this. A few of the skills we will be reinforcing and learning this week are: variables, multiples, fractors, products, prime, composite, multiplication of 2 x 1 digit #, 2 x 2 digit number showing several ways to do this, division of 2 x 1 digit.
Homework: IXL 4th grade: Monday-D.14; Tuesday-D.15; Thursday-D.17
Have a wonderful weekend,
Laura Lamaster
