Ms. Harris' Weekly Update
April 15th-19th
What's Going On This Week:
- Ms. Harris' Science: This week we will finish our unit on Astronomy. Students will have a completed study guide by Monday afternoon to use in preparation for the unit test on Thursday 11th. Their solar system projects are due on the 10th and they will be able to share them in class sometime between the 10th and the 12th. I encourage students to use their study guide, Discovery Education tech book, and IAN to study for their unit test.
- Mrs. Thurston/Leonard/Uhlenhake's ELA/Math: This week we are working on Figurative Language and starting grammar “boot camp”. Spelling test is Friday! No reading Response this week. We will continue our novel studies and reading groups! In math this week we will be reviewing area and perimeter. We will start Geometry (Lines, Points, Rays, and Angles) and have a quiz on Friday.
- Ms. Harris' ELA/Math: This week in math we will start our unit on Geometry. Students will learn how to identify and draw points, lines, line segments, rays, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and intersecting lines. They will also learn how to classify angles as right, acute, obtuse, or straight. After Spring Break, we will practice measuring angles with protractors. In ELA, we will finish our unit on mythology with myth reader theater plays. Students will practice these throughout the week and then present on Thursday. We will also continue learning about figurative language, specifically onomatopoeias and alliterations. Spelling tests will also be this week. Students will need to complete 3 spelling activities by their test day.
Math MAP Test is Tuesday
The students' last MAP test this year will be Tuesday. They will take their Math MAP test at 8 am.
4th grade STEAM Performance on Thursday 11th
It’s time for the annual STEAM performances! All performances will take place in the cafeteria from 9:00-9:30am on the designated date. Also, all students will participate and are asked to wear JEANS and a BLUE OR YELLOW FMES SHIRT. If your child does not own an FMES shirt, please have them wear a SOLID BLUE OR YELLOW shirt with their jeans. We hope to see you there!

FMES is hosting a Math Night at Publix Grocery Store in Fort Mill on Gold Hill Road on Tuesday, April 23rd. We would love for you to join us! More information will follow in the coming week.
From Ms. Macanas
Hello Parents!
I can't believe that Spring Break is next week! We're finishing up our astronomy unit this week, so please be aware that their science projects are due this Wednesday and their unit test is the day after! I'll be with the students one more week after spring break so Friday, April 26 will be my last day. It's been so fun working with your students!
