Fourth Grade News
Hello! February is just around the corner! You will begin to notice many new additions to our blog. We will begin to Twitter about our day. We will be using Twitter.com as a summary tool! The children will take turns writing a summary of what we did each day. They may summarize one topic or the whole day. This is a great way to be hands-on with technology in a meaningful way. If you would like to receive our class updates, follow us on Twitter! You will find a link on our blog! I will ONLY ADD PARENTS to our Twitter account. See the handout for details!
In social Studies, we will be finishing our unit on the Civil War and moving on to the Rise of Industry. We will be focusing on inventions and inventors. In Math, we will be moving on to more complex multiplication and division problems. PLEASE continue practicing the Multiplication facts every night. This is imperative for their future success in Mathematics!
In Science, we are concluding our unit on Matter with a fun project! The children should have already shown you their choices for the project. I can’t wait to see what they select and how they will complete it! We will also have a short test on this unit. In Writing, we started learning about Fictional Narratives. The kids are so excited to use their imagination to create a fun and exciting story that is all their own. The children will be publishing their stories in hard cover books. I am so excited to see how proud the kids will be when they see their story in book form! This is a busy month!
