Europe Project
The projects were an overwhelming success! I am so very impressed with
the effort each student put into their project. Students enjoyed food from many
European cultures and were enlightened by their classmates.
This week’s class motto is: Back to Basics
VIRTUE OF THE MONTH:
Integrity
Send me e-mails on
how you see your child showing integrity.
Each week we will discuss a class motto. Over
the remainder of the quarter, we will discuss Back to Basics. We need to remind
ourselves about the basis foundational rules and guidelines for 4th
grade success. We need to be sure we are ready for the rigors of the second semester.
We need to go “back to basics”.
The next two weeks are exciting:
History: We begin a two
week journey through the history of China. Obviously, to weeks is nowhere near
enough time to cover the history of China in full, but we touch on some
historic dynasties and cultural reference points of ancient China.
Science: We begin
the unit on electricity! This unit is full of experiments, hand-on activities,
and exciting information. Don’t be “shocked” if you child comes home “energized”
every day.
Language Arts: We will continue
reading Prince Caspian. Students are enthralled with the magical land of
Narnia. We will follow Prince Caspian, Susan, Peter, Edmund, and Lucy as they attempt
to free Old Narnia from the captivity of the evil Telmarines. Stop on by to see
a discussion!
Math: We begin
geometry! This course is really taking shape! Seriously, though, this is an introductory
course to geometrical shapes, perimeter, and area.
