4th Grade Magnet Classroom Update
March 19-23
Vertical Book Club Groups
Students will be participating in a vertical book club this spring! They have chosen from a selection of 5 books and will be regrouped based on their book choices. Each week they will have a reading assignment, much like their homework book clubs, to complete along with a few questions to respond to which are centered around the concepts of relationships, conflict, and power. They will be given time in class to complete some of the reading but they will also have some to do at home. Book clubs started two weeks and will meet on Thursday afternoons for the next 4 weeks.

In math, students will create statements from the data they collected related to a topic of their choice. They will plan and record their data commercials which support an opinion! In science, students will design a model which explains how animals process information through their senses and how this information impacts their behaviors.

In ELA, students will finish the unit on theme during which they will continue to look at a variety of texts that share similar themes. Students will compare and contrast the texts and analyze the way the authors develop the theme in each text. Additionally, students will do a quick review of first hand and second hand accounts.
