Luna wanted to say "HI-Woof," this week! Have a good weekend!
We were fortunate to see the "Big Top" go up, (in the back of PV School) this morning, for the Kelly Miller Circus this weekend.
We have "reading buddies" this year! About once a month, our 4th grade class will read to the preschool class...What FUN!
Important Dates:
Wed., Sept 26- Early Dismissal
Reading: This week we will begin the fourth grade Courage unit. The unit revolves around the essential questions of "What does it mean to show courage?", "Can courage be shown in more than one way?" and "How can one person make a difference?" We will also focus on how to determine the theme of a story.
ELA/Reading-The Courage unit begins by exploring how one person can make a difference. In order to gain some background knowledge of Dr. Martin Luther King, students will work in small groups to close read a biographical article about his life. They will also independently watch a video about him and answer text-dependent questions related to the video.
English: In English, we will continue Unit one. The Sentence. We will focus on finding the subject and predicate along with run-on sentences.
Writing: In writing we were imagining stories that we wished existed in the world and we added to our ideas list. Some students even started to work on a sloppy copy of a realistic fiction story. Next week we will learn how to put thoughts about your characters down on paper to help you develop your story.
Spelling: Unit 4 - "Frequently Confused Words"
This week's spelling/vocabulary list will include homophones such as to, too and two & their, there and they're. We will study the meanings of these words and how to use them correctly. The final test is scheduled for Friday, 9/21.
Social Studies: This week we will continue chapter 4, The Northeast. In Lesson 3 we will read and learn how Chesapeake Bay and other bays in the Northeast provide seafood for millions. The chapter 4 test is tentatively scheduled for Mon., September 25th.
Mrs. Spakausky's Math Class: The students review factors and factor pairs and prime and composite numbers. The students will also review the strategies they used to solve basic multiplication facts. Then we will begin Unit 1, Module 3 on multiplication comparisons and equations.
The Home Connection and Student book can be found in your child's Math Google Classroom This can be used if your child forgets to bring home their workbook.The pages may be printed out from this file.
