November 26 Updates and Announcements

Hello fabulous parents!

Just a few reminders...

We are going to the Cobb Youth Museum on Tuesday, November 27.  We will eat lunch at school when we return at 12:30pm.  If your child has not sent in their permission slip/money, please do so by tomorrow morning.  If your child does not go, they will be go to another fourth grade classroom while we are attending the field trip.

Reading
We are continuing to conduct our research on animals.  Each student has chosen an animal to research and study.  Our presentations will be Friday, November 30.  The project will be recorded as both a reading and writing grade.  This is an in class project and is not to be completed at home (just an FYI).

Math
We are working on multiplication in math.  Our standards address the standard algorithm and using diagrams to show the multiplication process.  Students need to practice their multiplication facts daily to build fluency.  Through observations and small groups, I am seeing that we are still struggling with knowing our 7s, 8s, and 9 facts. 

Writing
We are continuing to work on our opinion writing and how to develop reasons to support our opinions.

Social Studies
We are combining weeks 5, 6, 7, and 8 of our social studies weekly to cover the American Revolution.  You will see more interactive notebooks coming home that highlight our social studies standards specifically.  Assessments will continue to be created by yours truly.

Assessments
Students who were scheduled to make up their social studies test or math test will do so on Wednesday, November 28.  Due to the power outage, we were unable to finish either of the tests and I didn't think it would be fair to count that against the students.  We will also have our prefix and suffix quiz on Friday, November 30.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Bruner
