Quarter 2 Week 10

Dear 4C Families,

Wow! I can't believe it is the end of the quarter. It has been a blessing to have your students in my class and I look forward to the rest of the school year. I hope you all have a fun and safe winter break full of family and friends.

Mrs. Sarnataro



4th grade project:

Paul Revere's Ride is the fourth grade project for Project Week. It will be recited the first two days back from Winter Break (January 8th and 9th). Parents are welcome to watch their child recite the poem. Just email me if you would like to come and I'll give you an approximate time for your child's turn.  

Conferences

Please sign up for winter conferences here. The conferences will be held on Thursday, January 4th and Friday, January 5th.  I look forward to discussing your students performance with you.

Academics

This week in Math, we will conclude our unit on measurement with a unit test. This test will be structured like the previous one on fractions. On Monday, the students will take the test and after that, I will go through them, highlighting incorrect answers and work. It is most beneficial for the students’ learning if they show all their work, so I can highlight exactly where they started to go wrong. On Wednesday, I will hand back the test and the students will be able to correct the highlighted problems for full credit.

In history this week, we will finish our unit on Islamic Empires. We will study the Crusades, why they occurred and the impact they had on Islamic and Christian Empires as well as the world around them. We will take a quiz on Wednesday. Students will have a study guide to use to prepare for this quiz. 

In ELA, we will continue learning about author's purpose and theme this week. There will be an activity with idioms and we will also have time to work on the poem.
