I have included a chart for your reference on how this looks in 4th grade. We are continuing to practice multiplication and division problems.
Next Week: We will continue decimals and learn about comparing them and relating them to money!

This Week : We began our unit on unit the structure and function of plants. We will learn about the parts of plants (roots, stems, leaves, and sometimes flowers) and what they do to help plants survive. We had a guest speaker come by to give students a tour of the Gator Garden and the Texas native plants that found there home there!
Next Week : We will finish up our chapter about structures and functions of plants and begin our next chapter - inherited and acquired traits of plants and animals. Examples include - plants with yellow flowers drop seeds that make plants with more yellow flowers. If my dad has green eyes it is likely that I do too.
(If you would like to follow along with our learning this chapter is pages 299-308 in McGraw-Hill)

These include Alonso Alvarez de Pineda, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, Antonio de Espejo, Luis de Moscoso de Alvarado, Juan de Onate, and Rene Robert Cavelier. We will compelte a graphic organizer describing each explorer, where they came from, their reason for exploration, and the importance of their expeditions.
Next Week : We will begin our week ten newspaper about early Texas settlers and Spanish Missions. We will learn about the difference between presidios, missions, pueblos, and ranchos. France and Spain's claims to Texas became stronger with more settlement, and they began to fight over the territory.
