Let's look ahead at our week...

Lesson 17: Review Unit. The alternate format test will be on Friday.
English:
We will continue to work on our Pronoun Unit and Contract Enrichment work.
Reading:
The class will read a selection from our reading text entitled “Happy Birthday Dr. King!” (We did not get to this last week due to IOWA testing.). Our skill focus for the week will be “cause and effect” with a strategy focus on “clarifying.” We will review new vocabulary words and focus on comprehension skills. In addition, we will continue with our literature book club novels from the “Orphan Train Adventures” series that we began with “A Family Apart.” I will introduce the book club sheets that each student will have to fill out prior to their group meeting.
Math:
Please review the vocabulary from Chapter 19 at home. Due to IOWA testing, we did not have time to fill out our vocabulary/terms sheet. We will work on these study sheets in class on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Chapter 19 math test is scheduled for Thursday, January 21st. We will fill out “How to Study” sheets in preparation for the test.Fourth graders are expected to know their facts so that can apply them easily to new math concepts.
*Important: If your child has a different math teacher, please visit her blog for weekly math updates.
Social Studies:
The Chapter 7 Social Studies Test will be Wednesday, January 20th. We will fill out “How to Study” sheets in preparation for the test.
Science:
The Chapter 3 Science Test will be Friday, January 22nd. We will fill out “How to Study” sheets in preparation for the test. Our next unit will be "Electricity."
