Can you believe we are heading into spring break? Wow! This year is going by fast.
I am in need of a favor...
I was recently awarded a grant to provide rising third graders with summer bags to help them stay engaged and learning over the break. There are quite a few materials that will go into the bags including two books, dominoes, a deck of cards, and folders that contain various activities for all of the items. If you are available during our block planning this Friday from 12:45-2:00pm to help stuff the bags or on April 8th and 9th from 8:00-9:00am, I would greatly appreciate it. If you can come, please just send me a text via Class Dojo (our email spam filter is still suspect).
Math- We are finishing up our geometry unit this week and will move on to measurement. I have a fun in-class project that the students will work on in the upcoming weeks that may involve painting. I will confirm that after spring break as we may need old t-shirts.
Reading- We are continuing to discuss historical non-fiction and how to identify main idea, go back into the text to find information, and our other 4th grade learning targets.
ELA- Oh, we are having fun in writing! We are developing a class fictional story that will come together in a Mad Lib type of way. The students will develop their own fictional stories in April.
Social Studies- Reading and social studies will be combined. We will use are reading standards to discuss the Westward Expansion and our next unit on the Civil War.
There will not be a spelling test this week.
Spring fever has officially arrived in our classroom, however, the Bruner Bunch MUST finish strong. Please have some dinner and discuss appropriate school and classroom behaviors even if your child looks at you like "what are you talking about". We still have so much to learn and of a course the Milestones quickly approaching, so I will use every minute of every day to make sure the students learn and are focused.
Thank you so much for your support!
Mrs. Bruner
Enjoy your spring break and be safe! I need all of my kiddos back on April 8th. :0)
