Happy Friday!
IMPORTANT: Due to the weather, we have decided to reschedule our fourth grade field trip for February 18. The temperature on the 11th will just be too cold for us to be outside during a portion of the field trip. We are so sorry for any inconvenience, but we really don't want for everyone to be miserable on our special school day. Everything else will remain the same. Only the date will change. Fingers crossed that the temperature on the 18th will be more pleasant.
Next week in reading, we will wrap up character traits and setting, and we will begin a mini-unit on folk tales, tall tales, and fables. In science, we are continuing to design our bird feeders, and we are ready to collect materials for this. Be sure to ask your fourth grader what they plan to use in their design. Soda bottles, cardboard, dowel rods, and anything else you might have around the house would be great. In writing, we will begin studying figurative language, and in math, we are ready to explore acute, obtuse, and right angles.
Reminders:
- Remember to sign up for a parent/teacher conference by clicking here.
- As we are planning and designing our bird feeders, we need to start thinking about materials. Part of the challenge of this project is to solve the problem without spending any money. I want my students to find ways to build their bird feeders using things we already have, so if you have any "junk" that might be useful to us, please send it in! Perhaps your child or another child in the class could find it useful. Milk jugs, pop bottles, duct tape, string, or any other items your fourth grader may want to include in their design would be appreciated. Thank you so much for your help with this!
- Remember to send in your Box Tops!
