4th Grade Magnet Classroom Update
April 3-6
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 four weeks and will meet on Thursday afternoons for the next 3 weeks.

In math, students will take a pre-assessment for our next math unit focused on algebraic thinking. They will identify goals based on their pre-assessment. 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 engage in a poetry unit focusing on the forms of poetry, theme, and figurative language. Students will learn about a variety of types of poems and have an opportunity to write poems of their own.
