4th Grade Magnet Classroom Update
April 9-April 13
Vertical Book Club Groups
Students will be participating in a vertical book club this spring! They have chosen from a selection of 5 books and will be regrouped based on their book choices. Each week they will have a reading assignment, much like their homework book clubs, to complete along with a few questions to respond to which are centered around the concepts of relationships, conflict, and power. They will be given time in class to complete some of the reading but they will also have some to do at home.

In math, students set goals from our algebraic thinking pre-assessments. They will create a math product to demonstrate mastery of their goals. In science, students will finish building their model which explains how animals process information through their senses and how this information impacts their behaviors.
With Mrs. Hartley
In ELA, we will do a narrative PARCC like task focusing on test taking strategies, including analyzing questions, close reading passages, elimination and other multiple choice strategies, and best practices for written responses. Additionally, students will complete a Wonderopolis project in which they will explore a wonder question of choice and prepare a product to disseminate their information to their classmates.
