Quarter Four Week One

Hello 4B Families!

I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break. I can't believe that the fourth quarter is already here! There are only 8 full weeks left of school! My expectations for our class are only getting higher as we approach fifth grade. I look forward to every student growing academically and morally as they strive to meet those expectations.

With the fourth quarter comes testing season as well! Please make sure your children are present for the following test dates:
April 5th: AZMerit Writing
April 8th: AIMS Science

This week in fourth grade:
LA: We are learning the format of a friendly letter. We will be starting The Wizard Of Oz this week. Please make sure to send it in! There will be spelling words as usual.
Math: We learned about symmetry in the beginning of the week and will move into graphing and linear equations later in the week.
Science: We are preparing for the AIMS science test this week by reviewing old material and sharing test taking strategies.
History: We are continuing our study of the Revolutionary War. Today, I introduced the "Signers" project. Each student was assigned a signer of the Declaration of Independence and they will research about them to share with the class. The project packet is going home today and should be returned by Wednesday to confirm your awareness. I will send the packet back home with the child promptly once receiving your signature.
