The 4th Grade News
Week of December 1st-5th
A Note from Ms. Deal
The 4th graders are finishing out the first semester strongly. The students have spent a great deal of time studying Indigenous Cultures and have chosen a culture to focus on for the Indigenous Cultures Museum we will be creating.
The Museum will be available for parents to explore on December 17th and 18th. We will be working in groups and completing everything in class (which is different from years past). More information about times for the Museum Walk will come soon.
This is a gentle reminder to send your student to school with a snack every day. We have had quite a few forgetful 4th graders, so any help you can provide at home will be much appreciated.
Finally, next week is the last week for the ASAs session two. After school activities will continue again after the break. The first week will be the week of January 26th
As always, do not hesitate to contact me with and questions.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Ms. Deal

Math Maniacs
Please encourage your student to participate in the weekly math challenge! Each week I create a problem for students that would like an extra challenge. Even if the students don't reach the correct answer, at least they are thinking mathematically at home!
Language Arts
Writing: Students are working on Cause and Effect in writing. We are using folktales to help us discuss the cause and effect of different actions. Also in writing students are beginning to formulate ideas for their own folktale, which they will begin next week.
Reading: Students are studying folktales. We are exploring many different types of folktales and discussing the moral or lessons. We also continue to spend time reading our good fit books.
