Parent/Teacher Conferences:
4A Homeroom Parents please sign up here
Conferences are for parents only.
Thank you so much for your continued partnership!
Literature Groups will take place each Tuesday from 11:05 - 11:35. This is a chance for volunteers (who have been fingerprinted) to come in and listen to a group of students read and then ask some prepared questions. The students always enjoy this time to spend with parents.
In math this week, we'll continue our study of fractions. We will discuss comparing and ordering fractions with different denominators and adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator. We will also continue practicing putting fractions in simplest form. **This is a key skill in fractions, one that requires fluency in multiplication and division facts. If possible, please review these math facts with your child at home!
We will go over the study guide for the second geology test on Monday and take the test on Tuesday. Then we began the last unit of geology with volcanoes.
This week in history we will continue our study of the Middle Ages. We will focus on the rise of feudalism and examine the relationship between kings, lords, knights and serfs. Students will study heraldry and why it the importance to knights in the Middle Ages. Students will also make their own coat of arms using symbols and designs of the Middle Ages.
