February 4th Grade Update
Miss Fowler's Class
Math
Reading Workshop
Writer's Workshop
We start the month by finishing our drafts of our paragraphs for our Opinion Essays. Students have worked diligently to learn the different steps to gather ideas and mini-stories, set up their outline using boxes and bullets, organize their thoughts, and bridge their reasons to create a strong thesis. They will use transition words and repeated phrases as they create cohesive drafts. Then we will practice writing multiple leads and conclusions to create powerful introduction and concluding paragraphs. Finally, students will self-assess their work using the Opinion Writing Checklist to make revision decisions.

Valentine's Day Party
4th grade will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Thursday, February 11th in our classroom before our noon dismissal that afternoon. I will provide a small treat and activity, and students are more than welcome to exchange valentines with their classmates. While not required to bring them in, please remember if they choose to do so, they need to bring a valentine for every one! Thank you!
