Here’s what we were up to this week in fourth grade…

In writing workshop we continued working on our information books.  We have written the first chapter of our book (All about the Revolutionary War), the second chapter (All about our chosen topic), and this week we focused on writing and typing our third chapter, which is a small moment story.  We are using some the skills that we learned from our narrative writing unit in the fall to write this chapter.  Focusing on character, setting, and problems.  It’s fun to pretend you are a character living in the time of the Revolutionary War!   We are still using the laptops and our google accounts to type our information books. 

We took the NYS science test on Thursday this week.  This was the performance test and they all did very well!  The written portion of the test is Monday, June 6^th. 

In math we finished up topic 15 and will start topic 16 next week. This is our last topic of fourth grade.  We will learn about lines, angles, and shapes. 

As a reminder we have an accelerated math test on Wednesday, June 1. We will be attending our first field trip on Friday, June 3^rd in Waterford at the Tug Urger.  Please make sure your child brings a bag lunch (no glass containers please).

Enjoy the long weekend!
