MAPS Testing Prep
What's Up In the Classroom
- We are studying poetry, prose and dramas and the characteristics of each. Students can now categorize them and give specific attributes to each. See the posters below!
- We are still working on responding to our novel units each night. Read your selected novel and respond in Schoology or on paper a quick summary.
- We have also started Greek and Latin Roots study. Ask us what we have learned!
Math
We have begun our unit on geometry. Students will:
- learn to use a protractor to measure angles
- recognize angles as geometric shapes
- solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles
- draw and identify two-dimensional figures
- classify two-dimensional figures according to parallel or perpendicular sides or angles of a specified size
- recognize and draw lines of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure.

Students are writing their 4th grade memories! One moment will be published into a class book. We have learned a lot of writing moves this year!
