FOURTH GRADE News
March Newletter
As the saying goes “March comes in like a lion, out like a lamb.”In ELA we have been learning about figurative language. This may be the perfect idiom to describe our weather. Hopefully we will soon see some signs of spring.
As we welcome the month of March we begin our third and final trimester. We will start a new math module on fractions. The students did so well studying lines, angles and geometric shapes. This came in handy when designing and measuring area and perimeter in their zoos. Speaking about zoos, the Grade 4 dioramas and posters that adorn our hallway are wonderful. In Science we will continue our study of life science learning about plant life and then move on to Earth Science.
In Social Studies we are looking back in time when our nation fought for its independence. The students will read A Secret Soldier and learn about the events and people in New York that helped form our nation.
Most important, in Religion we are working on our Lenten promise to pray and sacrifice each day to bring us closer to God and prepare us for this very holy season. We have much to be thankful for so we will remember to thank God and serve others in small but important ways.
February Newsletter
As the winter brings us cold temperatures and snowfall, the 4th grade carries on...
For the month of Febraury we read the novel The One and Only Ivan. This novel inspired us to understand and appreciate many animals' habitats. We meet with a zoo architect from the National Zoo in Washington DC and learned how today zoos are designed to provide a good life for animals in captivity. (Zoom Meetings are great!) The 4th graders went on to plan and design their own zoos and then created some Zoo exhibits in the form of dioramas. Our Science study will continue with learning about animal structures and adaptations.
Meanwhile in Math we are learning all about geometry. As we studied points, lines and angles we learned how to use a protractor. Geomteric shapes come all sizes but we are focusing on triangles and using algebra to solve for the unknown angles!
In Social Studies we are learning about the events that led to the Revolutionary War. We will read the historical fiction book A Secret Soldier by Ann McGovern to appreciate that time in our history. We will also learn about all the important events that took place in New York while our country was fighting for its independence. The students will see how a a spyring here on Long Island greatly served General George Washington.
Most important, in Religion we are all working on our Lenten promise to pray and sacrifice each day to bring us closer to God and prepare us for this very holy season. We have much to be thankful for so we will remember to thank God and serve others in small but important ways.
Hopefully March will bring us some signs of Spring! It is also National Reading Month so we will be sharing our Book-in-a-Bag book share. (Details to come. Stay tune.)As always our daily activities are on Google Classroom. -
