Reading- Daily 5 is going to begin being reading with a focus in our content areas such as Social Studies and Science! Students are also learning about Evidence Based Terms for their reading responses! Students should use terms such as "because," "the author stated," "on page...," "from my prior knowledge, I know," etc.
Science- Nutrition! All about food labels and making healthier choices!
Social Studies- North Carolina history in connection to Biltmore and Asheville.
Writing- Publishing narrative pieces and moving on to informational writing!
Support the Media Center!!!
Homework!
It is our expectation that students CONTINUE to read 20 minutes per night or more!
Thank you for understanding.
NOTICE FOR STUDENTS IN MRS. GRIMES' PASSION PROJECT GROUP!!!
This Thursday at 7:20 AM Mrs. Grimes will be holding a VOLUNTARY Skype session with a class in Kenya for her Passion Project Group.
After the students in Kenya received our cards, they decided they wanted to Skype with us in order to teach us about their language, Swahili. Because of the time change, in order for us to Skype with the class in Kenya we will have to hold the session at 7:20 am which is before school. Since it is before school, I am opening this lesson up to anyone in 4th grade that would like to participate. The Skype session will be this Thursday morning January 22nd at 7:20am. I am asking for students to arrive in my room between 7:00-7:15am. (I will let the teachers on morning duty know that they are able to come up to my room.) If you have any questions about this exciting opportunity for our students please let me know!
Thanks for understanding the reason for the early morning Skype session.
