We are writers, we are scientists!
Wonders of 4th Grade
What a wonderful year!
We have explored a plethora of writing from personal narrative, expository, and persuasive writing as well as poetry! In science the students learned all about the states of matter, forms of energy, floating and sinking, soil layers, natural resources, the water cycle, and weather. We will finish out the year strong with more writing and science highlighted below.
Food Chains
We will explore producers and consumers as we investigate food chains.
Animal Adapations
We will explore how animals have survived through learned and inherited traits.
Realistic Fiction
We will explore some realistic fiction and use what we know from Personal Narratives to create our own fictional stories. We will be reading Flying Solo by Ralph Fletcher as a mentor text. As we think about our story ideas we will wonder about what could happen in real life.
We have many adventures still to come in April and May!
