Class,

We were so busy on Friday that we forgot to talk about our character presentations! We will have some presentations on Monday afternoon and the rest will be on Tuesday. Please bring your costume tomorrow (if you get this message in time!). We will leave it at school for your presentation on Monday or Tuesday.

I hope you had a great weekend!

Makayla H's Week in Review!

Dear Families,
This week in fourth grade was exellent. In reading we read the story Addie in Charge. Addie saves her little brother from a prarie fire. That was my favorite story in reading so far.
In math we are learning about trades first subtraction. You have to do all your trading before you can start subtracting. To me trades first is a very easy and quick way to subtract.
In social studies we are learning about the climate, landforms, natural resorces, and people of the Northeast region. One example of a climate is rainy. One example of a group of people is the Pilgrams. One example of a landform is mountains. One example of a natural resorce is fish. We learned a lot in social studies this week. Sincerily,
Makayla H.

Week in Review by Jessica

This week we had a bookfair! I got three new books! This week we are also writing to our favorite authors. I am writing to Andrew Clements! In social studies we are learning about the regions. There are four regions in the United States of America. They are the Midwest, the West, the Northeast, and the South. We are doing bookmatch blast! I am on my sixth book! When you get five books read you get to move up your rocket in the classroom! We just went to the library to get books for M.E.A. break! I got three awesome looking books!
Love and Sincerely,
Jessica Schmid
P.S. We learned how to play Red Remover!
