What's Happening in Room 34.....

Things You Should Know....

• I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break!  I am excited to get back into the swing of things in the classroom!  I can't believe we are in our last quarter of the school year.  We have some fun activities planned for the remaining of the school year.

Dates to Remember.....  
Friday: No School

What's Going on in Our Classroom....

Reader's Workshop:

• The students will be given a selection of books to choose from for their next book club.  This book club will be focusing on point of view and each of the books is told from an animal's point of view.

Writer's Workshop:

• 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.

• The students will be assigned to complete at least 3 ALEKS topics at home this week.  They will be given a form on Monday to record as they complete each topic.

Social Studies:

• We will continue to learn the Revolutionary War and study the roles of women, African Americans and American Indians in the war.
