Reading - The students have made new (and their final) reading goals for the year. Today and tomorrow, we will be finishing our activities with the Grimm Fairy Tale, "The Fisherman and His Wife." Later on in the week, we will be discussing text features found in non-fiction texts and reading short books on topics about history and government.
Language - This week, we will begin working on our Student Treasures books. Each student will be writing and illustrating pages in a class book. Look for order forms to be coming home soon!
Math - We will continue to work on comparing fractions as well as adding and subtracting fractions this week as we work on our fraction menu activities.
Science - The students will be learning about components of our solar system this week as they research items such as asteroids and comets.
Alabama History - I must say that teaching the Civil War is one of my very favorite things about fourth grade. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the students enthusiasm on this topic. This week, we will be examining differences in the North and the South as well as reasons that the North won the war.
