It’s our last full week together! While the school year is winding down, we are continuing to work hard and to make the most of every moment!
Readers will be exploring the nonfiction strategy of Sketch Noting and working with poetry! As an integrated unit, they will be creating small vignettes - describing a specific scene with a character of their creation. They will hone their ability to show their reader what is happening in and around their character. We will also be exploring more by way of vocabulary to provide a large base of specific word choices they can use in their pieces. Mathematicians will review a variety of math concepts through games this week. We’ll build our number sense, develop our mental math skills, and have a lot of fun while learning. This week will also be our last Fraction Friday, so we’ll make the most of it with some fractions on a number line. Know that most of our math games only require paper, pencil, and dice or a deck of cards so ask your 4th grader about what games they learn this week that could be good review opportunities all summer long. We’re launching to the moon during our last week of science! We’ll explore the terrain, meet some space experts, and consider why the moon is so important to our home planet. Through Minecraft Education and NASA, we’ll design lunar base camps and lunar terrain vehicles. It’ll be a fun week of STEM and creativity!
