Thank you for your support during our MAP Test last week and for encouraging your children as they transition to Fourth Grade. They are doing so well!
We have a fun and busy week in Fourth Grade ahead:
Art: Ms Kay will have Art Class every Thursday Morning at 9:15 starting this week. If you are in need of art supplies please reach out to Kay Jang. kjang@st-johnschool.org
Math: Students will read and write multi-digit whole numbers using expanded, standard and word form and study place value. They will continue to look at math with a growth mindset using math tasks.
Reading from Mrs Halley: We will continue our novel study of Bunnicula. A novel study is the process of reading (studying) a text together. I am reading aloud Bunnicula and modeling many reading strategies. Students are using this text to practice comprehension, and other concepts like cause/effect, summarizing, making inferences, and so much more.
Social Studies: Students will learn about Text Features using the Washington Adventure Social Studies text.
Vocabulary: Students begin studying vocabulary this week. They will be introduced to the root “un”, given tasks to complete daily and have a check point on Friday.
Writing: Students will learn how to expand sentences this week. They had great ideas in their paragraphs last week. Now they will focus on adding details to create pictures in the reader’s mind.
Religion: Students pray as class each morning. We think of those who need our love, support and compassion. We ask for strength and comfort. We reflect on gratitude.
