Update

 

This Thursday, May 22, 4th Grade will have their End of Year Party from 11:00 - 2:30 (just for students). The girls will have free swim in the Kenny Center, a pizza lunch after in the Assembly Room, and then watch a movie. If your daughter does not like pizza or cannot have it, please send in a lunch for her. The girls may also bring in a blanket and pillow or a stuffed animal for watching the movie. 

It's hard to believe this is the last Friday of the school year. We are in major project mode with our civil war museum project. Summarizing non-fiction passages has been a focus this week. I presented the girls with their second bracket challenge to practice this skill! We read about some not-so-famous inventors, decided on criteria for each elimination round, and the girls each selected a champ based on their criteria. The girls learned some interesting facts and will present their champion on Monday!

In math, we practiced ordering and comparing decimals as well as reading decimals to the thousandths. We played "I have, who has" and completed a shopping spree math project.

It was a perfect day at King's Dominion! So many smiles and rides! The biggest THANK YOU to our amazing chaperones.

 

MS Robotics Information Letter

 This will be shared with the girls next week. I will encourage the girls to complete it in their free time at school since they have to use their school email. Please find time to talk with your daughter about whether or not it would work in your schedule next year to participate in robotics.

 

We have kicked off the decimal unit in math. Check out the Home Links to see what's ahead!

Update

It was a BIG week in 4th grade. The girls came back from their Middle School visit day full of excitement and equally exhausted. They had a busy morning visiting all of their 5th grade teachers and learning the ropes of middle school. In addition to Wednesday, we also had 2 of our 4 Growing Up Healthy classes this week! 

 During reading this week, we read a picture book titled The Butterfly that takes place in France during WWII. We completed a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast it to Number the Stars. 

In math, we are just about finished with our fraction unit. This week we compared fractions with uncommon denominators, practiced finding the simplest form and equivalent fractions. 

Next week we will also wrap up our civil war unit. We will finish out the year working on a research project to show off what they have learned.
