• We will begin to study and critique several 4th-grade writing samples to help prepare the students to write from a specific writing prompt. 
• The students will be given a list of vocabulary on Monday.  The words come from our Word Wall, and the students have worked with the words throughout the school year.  They will be responsible for spelling, defining and using the words in a sentence on the test next Friday, April 6th. 

Math:

• The students will continue to work with customary measurement.  They will measure to the nearest 1/4 inch, learn about weight, length and capacity measurement. We will begin to study area and perimeter near the end of the week.
