TISSUES STILL NEEDED
The next couple of weeks:
Math: This upcoming week, students will start their study of decimals. In fourth grade, students will be expected to know how to read, speak, and write decimals to the thousandths place. To begin, they will understand the relationship between decimals and fractions, why the decimal places moves when multiplying and dividing by ten, how to compare decimals, and mixed numbers including decimals.
ELA: In ELA, students will follow the
regular procedures for Spalding. In writing, students will refine their
understanding and skills by studying specific writing traits. In Prince Caspian, students will be reading
chapters 11-15.
History: Having spent time discussing the
impact of the Boston Massacre, students will now reflect on the changing
opinion of the colonists toward the British and how the Boston Tea
Party was a result of the colonists’ ill feelings
toward the British. There is a test on chapters 1-10 at the beginning
of week five.
Science: In science next week, students
will continue to look at the impact of the molten asthenosphere by
studying hot springs, geysers, and mountains. This will also include a
look at geological features in the depths of the
ocean.
