Week of September 30th

Happy Monday 4th grade families!

We are officially done with IOWA testing- yay!  The students did a great job and we must say that we probably had the mintiest breath in the entire country last week :) We are back to a normal schedule this week.

This week in....

Reading:  Mrs. Carbone's class will complete Kai's Journey and have a test on Friday
               Miss Winter's class will read On the Banks of Plum Creek and have a test on Friday

Spelling:  Lesson 8

Religion:  This week we will be learning about Moses and the Ten Commandments

4th LA: Main Idea and Details

4th SS: We will be on our train tour of the Northeast.  We will be "stopping" at nine different places and complete activities focusing on map skills, geography, politics, and economics.  There is no test for our train tour but we will have in-class projects that may need to be finished at home. We will finish the tour by writing a letter to a family member about all we have seen (worth 100 points).

5th LA: Nouns and a close read of persuasive articles

5th SS: Chapter 3- Empires of the Eastern Hemisphere.  This week or early next we the students will "travel" along the Silk Road
