On September 11th. Our lessons will focus on a realistic fiction age appropriate picture book of the events of 9/11. We will do mapping skills of New York's Manhattan. In English, we will focus on building sentences about the events.  

Reading: We will continue to build our knowledge of the qualities of a  personal narrative along with sequence of events. Transition words will be introduced.  Recognizing literary elements will be practiced. We will build new vocabulary and read a realistic fiction called Experts, Incorporated.  

English: This week in English, our fourth graders will  continue to develop their skills with sentences. We will especially focus on compound sentences and complex sentences.  

 Social Studies: In Social Studies, we will read Lesson 2. The focus is longitude and latitude.  We will label the Northeast states several times this week.  Study them for a minute or two each day.
