Reading: The students will begin small book clubs this week, reading and discussing books in small groups.
Language Arts: The students are finishing up their hero essays this week as well as writing a short story in the style of Mike Thaler, the author coming to visit Shades Cahaba next week.
Math: The students have done a spectacular job of adding and subtracting fractions! We will add a little complication this week as we add in mixed numbers and improper fractions. We will also begin multiplying whole numbers with fractions. If you happen to be doing some cooking over the next few weeks where you need to do some doubling or tripling in a recipe, show your fourth grader and see if he/she can help you!
Science: We are going to be doing some exciting things in science this week! Last week, the students discovered how to make a light bulb light up and just what it took to complete a circuit. This week, we'll be doing some more work with electricity as students investigate circuits more in depth as well as conductors and insulators. We'll be spending some time in the Maker's Space as well!
