4th Grade Update

WEEK OF JUNE 8

READING/LANGUAGE ARTS
    Students will continue to explore language as they write poetry this 
week. They will work cooperatively to present research on the Amish 
traditions in a combined social studies and language arts activity.      

SOCIAL STUDIES
     Our local heritage field trip last week was a success. We gathered 
evidence of local history through studying old tombstones at St. Peter's 
Tohickon Church. A special speaker at the Pennridge airport helped us to 
determine why that was a good location for an airport, and the Mrs. Klepfer 
and Mr. Funk at the East Rockhill Township Building explained how they help 
the community. The kids got to climb inside of some of the special machines 
such as a dump truck, backhoe, and grass cutter. You should have heard the 
sound of all those kids honking all of those horns!

MATH
     Students will continue to explore two-dimensional and three-dimensional 
geometry this week. We will also discuss volume and capacity.
