Hello 4th grade families,
Thank you for all of your continuous support and for everything you do! Our Spring/Easter party yesterday would not have been done with you!
Here are some announcements for our short week next week (4/22 - 4/25)
There is no school on Monday in observance of Easter Monday and Lincoln's birthday.
Thursday is a minimum day, and Open House will take place from 5:00 - 6:00pm. Come check out the classroom and see your student's work.
ELA: We have ended unit 5 which means that the students will not have spelling tests, spelling pages, grammar pages, or practice book pages to complete. Students will take their unit test on Tuesday; it is essentially a long reading test. Wednesday - Friday will be dedicated towards their final writing assignment.
Instead of doing a traditional essay, students will be writing an expository/informational letter. They will be using their chromebooks to do brief research to find an invention that they would like to write about. Prompt: Write an expository letter, with proper addresses, heading, and closing, about an invention that solves a problem.
Paragraph 1: Introduction / what are some new inventions you have heard or read about?
Paragraph 2: What problems did these inventions solve; either in your world or society? Who or what could benefit by using this invention.
Paragraph 3: Your point of view of the invention you chose. Do you think it was a good invention or not? Why? Would you make any changes to the invention?
Students will be graded on the features of an expository letter.
Introduces a topic and shares information about it.
Uses paragraphs to explain the topic of choice with facts, definitions, quotations, and details.
Maintains a formal style.
Has a greeting, closing, and signature

We are going to be starting chapter 12 which is about metric measurements. We will be doing 2 lessons a day because it is a short chapter; which means that students will complete chapter 12's study guide (extra credit) on Friday and chapter 12 test will be on Monday 4-28.
HISTORY: Due to the short week and minimum day, we will be taking a break from a history newspaper.
SCIENCE: We will continue to work through unit 3 and complete worksheets. We will be working on Earth Day crafts as well.
Students will also be working on a special writing project throughout the week. Another email will be sent out soon about this exciting writing project.
Please encourage your student to stay on top of their school work, and ensure they are completing homework when they have it. I would also talk to your student about kindness and respect. We are experiencing some unkindness in and out of the classroom no matter how many talks the aides or myself have had to give them.
Enjoy your holiday, for those that celebrate Easter, and have a wonderful weekend. The students are doing their very best and I appreciate the efforts that they are giving on a daily basis as we get close to state testing. Please reach out to me if there are any questions, comments, or concerns.
