small medium large Writing: This month in writing we will write our 4th grade state research reports! Each student was given a state from the United States to research in social studies. Now that researching is complete the students will take their note cards they wrote in social studies to create an outline, rough draft, and final copy for their state report. Final copies will be typed in the computer lab. All components of the research report will be stapled together and sent home in June! Reading: In reading this month we will form book clubs based on genre. Students will first analyze which genre of reading they are not reading often enough. Students will then be given books from this genre to read and discuss in book clubs. Each week the students will meet to discuss their favorite passages from the book and/or help each other understand confusing parts of the story. The students will also be responsible for reading up to an assigned chapter each week. If a student does not finish his/her chapter in time he/she is expected to read his/her book at home in order to be ready for the book's meeting. Health: In health this month we will start chapter 3 and learn about ways we can take care of our skin, hair, teeth, and heart. Also, our school nurse Mrs. Demetor will meet with our class for five periods to discuss the importance of saying no to drugs, the consequences of smoking and drinking alcohol, and an introduction to HIV and AIDS. Math: In math this month we will begin learning about geometry including symmetry, reflections, translations, and rotations. You can help your child by pointing out ways these occur in the real-world. We will also introduce adding positive and negative numbers. Toward the end of the month, we will learn about 3-dimensional shapes. Social Studies: We have finished taking notes for our state research reports. For the remainder of the month we will study New Jersey in the 1800's and 1900's. This will include learning about Thomas Edison, immigration, and assembly lines.
