Math: In Fourth grade Math, we just started the Geometry unit this week. We will be covering many different topics like points, lines, rays, angles, and polygons. We will also be learning and using the formulas for perimeter and area. The students have made a Geometry Notebook that they are writing in daily to practice their note-taking skills, and to keep up with the many vocabulary words that we will come across. The Geometry unit will take about 5 weeks to cover, and then we will move into the Measurement unit.
Science: In Science, we are currently working on the Solar System unit. We will be learning about constellations, moon phases, seasonal changes, and all of the planets over the next several weeks. So far, the students are really enjoying our unit. We will have many hands-on activities and projects coming up in the next few weeks.
