This Week 4/18/16

Hello Fourth Grade Families!

This week the kids will participate in Jump Rope for Heart to benefit the American Heart Association.  If you haven't already, please turn in permission slips and donation envelopes by Wednesday, 4/20.  Our time slot is on Wednesday from 1:45 to 2:45.  Please feel free to come and join us in the gym!

Also, a reminder that we have an Early Release day on Friday.  The kids will be dismissed at noon, before eating lunch.  Back up care is available if needed.

This Week In...

Language:  We'll be continuing our unit on Figurative Language, learning about alliteration, onomatopoeia, consonance, and assonance.  Soon we'll begin to use our new knowledge to write some poetry!

Reading:  Students are continuing with their partner reading, formulating discussion questions, and completing comprehension activities.

Math:  This week we'll wrap up our unit reviewing fractions, and will begin a new unit where we'll add and subtract fractions.

Writing:  We'll be working on writing passages where we compare and contrast.

Science:  This week we're learning about the Periodic Table of Elements, and how elements combine to form substances.

Bible:  Our memory verse this week is:  You are my rock and my fortress.  For the sake of your name, lead and guide me.  Psalm 31:3

Have a blessed week!
