What we are Learning This Week
Math: Ms. Shell
Blue Group:
By the end of the week, students should be able to determine whether a number is divisible by another with zero remainder and systematically list all of its factor pairs for numbers up to 50. Through hands-on activities—including a 6-flap divisibility rules foldable and color-coded "Factor Rainbows"—students are learning visual shortcuts for testing rules for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9. They are applying these strategies to solve real-world grouping challenges (like figuring out how to split 72 students evenly into sports teams with no one left out!) while building a strong foundation in number sense.
Yellow Group:
By the end of the week, students should be able to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of multi-digit numbers by putting two major strategies head-to-head: listing factor pairs versus constructing prime factorization trees. Through our "GCF Strategy Showdown," students are exploring how multiplying shared prime factors guarantees they won't miss hidden factors in larger numbers. They are also learning how to apply their GCF knowledge to solve complex real-world packaging challenges and connect their work directly to algebraic reasoning.
LA: Mrs. Phelps
Skills we are developing this week include:
Reading:
refer to examples from the text when discussing the influence of the church on the daily lives of people in medieval Europe (RI.4.1, RI.4.3)
Make cause and effect connections between the rise of the church and practuices that became popular (RI.4. 5)
Writing:
W.4.5 Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, and editing (informational paragraph about serfs)
W.4.7 Conduct short research projects that build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic
Use a graphic organizer to paraphrase notes on knights, craftsmen, and monks/nuns in the Middle Ages

This week, we will continue our work in our "Road to Revolution" unit. We will discuss the Boston Tea Party on Monday and the Sons of Liberty on Wednesday. Friday we will have an overview of where the country is on the eve of Revolution. We will begin to review on Friday and plan to have a quiz on the unit NEXT Wednesday.
Homework: Complete worksheet on the Boston Tea Party for Wednesday.
In WAG, we are continuing our unit on verbs and how different verbs are used in our writing to help express our thoughts clearly.

Dear Fourth Grade Families,
I’m excited to share how well our fourth graders have been doing with telling time in Spanish! This skill involves several steps, and we have been working through each one slowly and thoughtfully to give students time to practice, ask questions, and build confidence. I have been especially proud of their diligence and willingness to ask for clarification when something is unclear. They have embraced the challenge, and it has been wonderful to see them enjoying the learning process!
Our telling time test will be on Monday, November 16. While this is early notice, I wanted to give you plenty of time to plan and share how we will be preparing together.
Students began the attached study guide in class today. We will complete it together during our next class to ensure that students have correct answers to use when reviewing at home. In the classes leading up to the test, we will also work through a variety of practice activities to reinforce the material and help students feel prepared.
For at-home review, the best resources will be:
The completed study guide, which we will finish together next class.
The Blooket review, which I will post to Google Classroom next Monday.
There is no need to complete the unfinished portions of the study guide at home before our next class—we will work through those together. Once it is complete, brief review sessions with the guide and Blooket will be a helpful way to practice.
Most importantly, I want you to know how proud I am of this class. Telling time in another language takes patience and persistence, and our fourth graders have shown both. Their thoughtful questions and steady effort have made a real difference in their progress.
Thank you for your continued support! Please feel free to reach out with any questions:)
