Welcome guardians and students to our 4th grade classroom! This webpage will have updates, important information, and links for you to use as we move through the year. 

Class outline

Below will be brief descriptions of what we are currently working on in class. Please always feel free to inquire for more detail. 

Math

Students are working on perimeter and area and will shortly begin working with equivalent fractions. Students are also working in teams that have similar goals made one on one with teacher. For example, some students stated they wanted to move up a grade level in Geometry, so they are working together on Geometry tasks. 

Science/Social Studies

Students are currently participating in a class-wide state government simulation. They have named our community "The Magic School Bus" and we have a functioning executive and legislative branch with concerned citizens creating bills to help our Magic School Bus community function smoothly. 

Reading and Writing

We are currently reading aloud from Wonder. Students are focused on analyzing opinion texts and creating their own opinion writing. They are working on making a 5-paragraph essay about what characteristics makes a good person. They had a homework prompt to discuss this with their families. Students are also meeting one on one with teacher to making reading goals from their iReady Reading diagnostic results and will be meeting with 'book groups' with peers to work on similar goals together.
