10/14: This Week in Fourth Grade

Homeroom
In science this week, students continued learning about Newton's Laws of Motion. We also had a wonderful lesson from Ms. Flaccavento on kindness. Ask your child about what wrinkles our hearts and what we can do to show kindness to others!

Math
In math class this week we practiced adding and subtracting large numbers using the standard algorithms. We also tackled multi-step word problems. I've been very impressed with the perseverance I see in this group! They're learning to organize their work and show their thinking as they break down complex problems. 

ELA
In writing, students are using timelines to organize and structure their narratives into paragraphs. We finished our first guided reading book,Stone Fox. We talked about character traits and found evidence in the text to support our thinking. 

Fun on Friday!
Homeroom students started assembling their rockets today! We have a lot of work to do to get ready for Rocket Day on Friday, October 28!

Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. Kyle
