What's Up in 4th Grade!
Don't forget your child needs a total of 90 minutes every week for both iStation and Think Through Math. These are valuable resources that aid your child's learning.
Language Arts
Math
Science and Social Studies
Please ask your children about the interactive word wall they are creating in school!
Next week, our students predict and investigate the effects of friction. They also design an investigation on how the force of gravity affects an object. Students learn that the force of gravity pulls you toward the center of the Earth. Otherwise, they would travel travel infinitely in the direction that you are pushed until an opposing force stops them.
Critical vocabulary to take into consideration are: attract, force, gravity, matter, surface, weight, energy and motion.
