This week and next...

One full week of ISAT's down and just two more days next week.  The kids have done a fabulous job!  Next week we will be back to our regular schedule, meaning we will have a spelling test and a reading test along with homework. (It was good while it lasted, right kids?!?!)

Reading:  Next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we will be reading our new National Geographic for kids to find facts and main ideas within each heading.  The following week, I'll be meeting with each child and reviewing their Daily 5 notebooks, making sure they have a "Good Fit" book and that they are working hard on their 35 book requirement!  After Spring Break we will start our Slavery, Underground Railroal and Harriet Tubman Unit.

Social Studies:  We are in the Southeast Region and we are starting our Civil War Unit!  Our Social Studies and Reading Units tie in so nicely together!

Science: The children did an EXCELLENT job on their Human Body Projects!  I'm so proud of their hard work!  Up next, Ecosystems

Math:   Measurement.  The math switch has been going great and for this chapter the children will get a chance to learn from all three 4th grade teachers.  I'm teaching capacity, Mr. Jewell is teaching weight and Mrs. Emma is teaching length.  It's been a blast so far!  Next Monday, you'll move to your second classroom. Yay!

Don't forget to change your clocks...Spring ahead one hour!
Enjoy your weekend,

Mrs. Schroeder
