Happy first full week of school!
Scholastic Book Fair will be open this week. Our class is going for our preview on Monday to check it out! Open House is also this week, Thursday at 6:00 p.m. I hope to see everyone there! The book fair will be open during Open House.
What we are learning this week:
ELA/Writing: In reading, we have built up our reading stamina to 11 minutes as a class! We are now practicing both reading stamina and writing stamina as apart of Daily 5 stations. I will also be DRA testing students this week. We will also be discussing character traits from our classroom book we are reading aloud: The BFG. In writing, we are working on personal narratives. We are focusing on narrowing our topic and brainstorming details this week!
Spelling: Our first test will be on Monday. We will then get a new list of words on Monday to study. Our next test will be on Friday. Moving forward, we are only going to be having spelling tests on Friday and getting our lists on Monday (unless there is a short week again! :))

Math: We are continuing Module 1 in math this week. Our goal is to complete Lessons 3-5. I have attached the homework just in case! I also am going to provide homework tutorial/video links as well! These lessons have started off challenging in 4th grade and if you need some extra help while doing homework at home- these videos can be helpful! They also can be found on the Embarc.Online website I have mentioned last week:) All of the math links are at the end of this post!!
Science/Social Studies: In science, we are learning about energy. We are constructing a Twist-O-Matic rollercoaster ride and testing it out this week! In social studies, we are learning about Geography and how to describe where the U.S. is located.
