Week of November 11th Update

Announcements:
Please make sure your child is practicing their spelling words at home. The spelling homework packet is due Friday! Other than that, the students will have a math problem 2-3 nights per week and they should be reading at least 30 minutes. This can include being read to, reading aloud, or read to self.

FAVE is looking for volunteers! 4th graders are studying the American Revolution, and we'd like to have an event to teach the students key figures of the time period. For more information about how you can help, go to https: //docs.google.com/forms/d/1q709dSLNvxFae2XGejjq1F-hzT0sYUWv4FMAPCKuHOk/viewform.


In math, we're identifying and generating equivalent fractions. The students will have homework two nights this week. Please ask them to show you their math journals so you can see all the great learning they're doing! I have put in equivalent fractions assignments into Compass.

In science, we're continuing our study of light. This week's focus is on reflection, refraction, and absorption. Ask them to show you what they've been learning on science techbook!

In ELA, we will be practicing for the Literary Cafe! We hope you can join us on November 19th from 6:30-7:00 p.m. The students will be presenting their "I Am" poem that they made in class. This week, we will also be reviewing how to find the main idea of a text & formulating a thesis statement for our first opinion piece.

In Social Studies, we will be researching and learning about the battles that occurred during the American Revolution.

Have a great week!
-Miss Ary
