Fourth Grade Parkside Elementary
January 17th - 21st
Literacy/Reading
Welcome to my new friends joining our literacy classes!
Students will continue to master informational text structure and continually review main idea and details. We are moving into interpreting visual information (such as graphs, charts, diagrams, animations, etc.) in informational text.
Students will soon begin a project that integrates Social Studies- they will be researching famous North Carolinians. More information including a rubric and due dates will be sent home so we may get started soon!
Math
Science, Social Studies and Health
In Science we will be using magnets and wires and bulbs and creating all sorts of magnetic electrical items. This will actually go into next week as we wrap up our social studies assignments. So more about electricity next week!
Health will also be next week with the emphasis on health in families. We will discuss concerns with keeping healthy during the flu and cold season.
Field Trips,,,
Permission slips have been sent home for both trips. Payments need to be made for the trips via the Online Payment system located on the school's website. http://schools.cms.k12.nc.us/parksideES/Pages/Default.aspx
There are a few payment options available for the NC Mountains trip and those are noted on the permission forms as well as on the school's website. Please note that the first payment is due by January 20th for the NC Mountains trip and January 29th for Vulcan.
