It is now officially fall, so it was time to make a change to our blog background!
We had a nice week this week focusing on our studies of How To, Non-Fiction, Native American's, and Division.
We were able to complete our study of Non-Fiction Text Features. We will review these Monday and have a quiz on Tuesday. All of the information your student needs to study is located in their Reader's Notebook. Next week we will begin to look at Text Structures.
We practiced writing How To's this week and realized how specific and clear the writing has to be. On Monday writers will make topic choices and begin drafting their own How To. We should be through revision by Friday.
Next week we will finish up our review of division. Mathematicians should be practicing their facts each night!!! I promise, it will make life easier.
Thursday we had a great visit from George Steele. We were going to go out in the pouring rain, but made a quick change and learned about plants and animals that can be found in our backyard in our classroom. It was fantastic! I even touched a skunk skin!
On Wednesday we have our first Character Assembly on Gratitude. We will be celebrating Ms. McDonald. As a fourth grade we are writing a Where I'm From poem about Ms. McDonald. It should be nice celebration.
Please don't forget that Wednesday is early release and all students must be getting on a bus (with the exception of School's Out Students). A specific PINK letter is coming home today!
I hope everyone has a nice weekend!
