What's Up in 4th Grade!
On Monday, our building will be celebrating World Bullying Prevention Day. We are encouraging students to wear blue to support a bullying free community.
Tuesday, October 4th is Fall Pictures! An order form was sent home with students last week. Remember to return the order form to school along with your payment. up until picture day. We can't wait to see the smiles and their shinning personalities.
Language Arts
Next week, students will read a wonderful biography about Martin Luther King titled, "My Brother MARTIN." Students will identify the author's main purpose and the literary language found in the story. We will also continue to work on expository writing through learning about how to write a conclusion. This week, we will have our first spelling test. The pattern of the week is prefixes.
Math
Science and Social Studies
Our students are going to become experts on the regions of Texas. Students will be assigned a region to research, take notes, study, and develop a presentation about their region with a group. We can't wait to see these experts' presentations, so that we can learn too! This will be the foundation we build upon as we learn about the great state of Texas throughout the year.
