Today’s blog will address this week and next as we finish up our work before the Holiday break. I will also post pictures from the holiday party next Friday.

Math – Our final homework and quiz was today, but yikes! Many students are struggling. I will do my best to cover the issues in small groups before next week’s test. Here is the testing plan:

•      Monday – all class practice test that may be taken home & used for studying.
•      Tuesday – Test Review on their own.
•      Wednesday – Correcting and learning from the Test Review
•      Thursday – Final test on our division unit.

Writing – We are working on our rough drafts of our persuasive essays. We will continue persuasive essays with various prompts after break also.

Reading – We are starting our Michigan projects with a partner next week. We practiced finding research for our chosen nonfiction topic this past week.

Spelling – Last test of this year next Friday. Words come home on Monday as usual.

Science – Great hands-on exploration with plants’ external and internal structures. We will dissect a large flower next week.

PARTY – Our fourth grade holiday party is scheduled to begin after recess at 2:15 to 3:15. Students are asked to donate a pair of socks for the needy and bring in a pair of WRAPPED socks for the party game and gift giving.

Have a great weekend!
