4th Grade Update
February Newsletter
Learning Targets
Language Arts: Last quarter we focused on opinion writing and several reading skills including figurative language, point of view, and text structures. This month we will begin informational writing and work on comprehension of nonfiction texts.
Social Studies: Last quarter we learned all about the Revolutionary War! We are currently discussing the War of 1812 and getting ready to begin studying the Underground Railroad.
Science:In second quarter we focused on Earth science and studied topics such as erosion, weathering and deposition and how those changes to the Earth create landforms. We also used the 3D printer to print out versions of the landforms that we studied. This quarter we are studying physical science. We will be learning about matter, forms of energy and heat transfer. These topics lend themselves to lots of in class demonstrations and labs for the students to complete.
