Fourth Week of School September 14- September 18
Message from Mrs. Langston
We had an amazing first week for in person learning at WES. We saw old friends, made new friends, and learned healthy habits like social distancing and wearing a mask. It was different, but so nice to be back in our school building.
Thank you for sending in paper towels. We use them all the time for cleaning. I also want to remind the students to bring a snack if they would like. Our PE classes this week are:
A Day students:Thursday
B Day students: Monday and Friday
Don't forget your tennis shoes!
Remember: You are fabulous in fourth!!!!
Learning Goals for the Week
ELA: I can compare and contrast two characters with a fictional text. I can identify different figurative language examples like personification, simile, and onomatopoeia.
Math: I can represent numerical or categorical data using a line plot, bar graph, double bar graph or frequency table.
Social Studies: I can explain how people, events and developments brought about changes to communities in various regions of N.C. (Coastal Region, Piedmont Region, and Mountain Region) We will make a salt map of the regions of North Carolina!
