March is Here!

Although next week marks the beginning of a new month, it is also the end of the 2nd trimester.  We will be having a celebration next Friday afternoon to celebrate those who have reached their trimester reading goal.  A note will be coming home on Monday to explain this further.

Next Week:

Language Arts:  I am very excited to be starting our 3 week unit on Greek Mythology!  We have been working on mastering the fourth grade literature standards all year thus far.  We will be putting it all together in the next weeks while focusing on Greek Myths and allusions associated with these myths.
New reading logs went home today and will be due next Friday.  We will also be practicing with adverbs and suffixes.

Students had class time today to complete their character description paragraphs.  If they did not finish them, they are due on Monday.

Math:  Our class started Unit 9 in math this week.  This unit focuses primarily on fractions.  They must have their facts mastered to be completely successful in this unit.  Things that they will need to know how to do with fractions include: simplifying, reducing, adding, subtracting, ordering and comparing.

Science:  They will be moving on to Mrs. Lund's room for science and focusing on the human body.

Please be sure you are checking your child's Class Dojo reports on a regular basis.   I have been adding comments about specific test scores or late assignments to help clarify things.  If you have not signed up for the weekly reports, please do so;)

Have a great week! Hopefully warmer weather is on its way!!
