Greetings Families,
I hope you have enjoyed the extra day with your child(rend). Today, the fourth-grade team, along with the other teams, spent time looking at our curriculum to determine ways we can improve it to make sure your child(ren) can demonstrate their abilities on state testing. One thing we remain focused on is ensuring that we are faithful to our classical liberal arts curriculum. We only accommodate the test when we can. Hopefully, our efforts today will reap benefits.
Here are the lessons for week nine of the first quarter.
Language Arts: In language arts, students will take a monthly Spalding assessment that helps us track their growth and then they will learn new words and review the phonograms. In literature, students will continue reading Ronia. In writing, students will begin the second opinion paper.
Math: In math, students will finish the chapters on the four operations and will finish with a test covering the first two units.
History: This week is Chilvary Week in history. Students were assigned their knight or maiden on Friday. The focus this week is on the role of a knight in the Middle Ages. Chapters 6-10 will be tested on Friday.
Science: The study of plants continues this week in science. Students will learn and be expected to memorize the parts of a flower. They will learn about plant reproduction and how seeds are dispersed. There will be a quiz toward the end of the week on plants.
If you have any questions or comments, please reach to me.
Best,
Michael Naaktgeboren
