First Stanza of Paul
Revere’s Ride Due on November 18th
**The students
were handed out the complete poem of Paul Revere’s Ride on Friday. Memorizing
this is the fourth grade project that will be recited during project week
(January 6-8). There is a date that each stanza should be memorized by. Please
make it a priority to memorize a couple of lines each day, making it a much
easier task to complete.
Please be diligent in
checking in with your student that s/he is doing his or her homework each night.
We’ve had too many missing assignments lately and this will affect his or her
grades.
Last’s weeks spelling tests looked great. The spelling words
are coming along well. The students are making most of their mistakes with the
phonograms, so please keep practicing these at home. There will only be 20
words this week but still 10 phonograms : )
We will begin fractions this week in math but we will
continue to review division and multiplication. Please review multiplication facts regularly with your child.
In geology we will continue with earthquakes and start on
tsunamis.
We are enjoying Robin
Hood. You may have noticed there is more vocabulary this time. This
book has more terms that we are unfamiliar with so that’s the reason. We also
wanted to give more practice using these words in sentences.
The students will be finishing up their family coat of arms
as a creative way to learn about heraldry. I’m looking forward to putting some
up on our bulletin board out in the hallway. We will study more about castles
and knights this week.
The students have an opportunity to do a presentation/report on a topic in the
Middle Ages. This is optional, for extra
credit. It is to be a 2 minute presentation on a topic that I have
approved. It will be due the week of Thanksgiving but if they are ready before
that, they can present it sooner.
With cold and flu
season upon us, we could use some more tissues and antibacterial wipes.
Please clear out the
“take home” folder as well as the Language Arts and History folders.
