Dear 4D Parents,
Another exciting week is upon us! Thank you to all of
those who volunteered to chaperone for our MIM field trip on 2/2, we truly
appreciate all of the support!
Additional
note: Please be sure that students have a water bottle with
their name on it each day. With the warm weather continuing into the “winter”
months students are taking numerous trips to get water when they
forget their water bottle.

for the week:
We will review for our quiz about rocks, weathering, and erosion on Tuesday. We will begin our next unit on the cardiovascular system
(CVS). We will be able to identify the parts and functions of the CVS including
the heart, blood, and blood vessels. We will see what happens to our heart rate
when we exercise.
We will finish Robin Hood this week by
comparing and contrasting the book with other media. The final assessment will
be a written assignment that we will begin on Tuesday and end on Wednesday. The
students will be given a graphic organizer and rubric to help facilitate the
assignment. On Thursday and Friday, we will learn about the common elements of
a fairy tale and introduce The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Please make sure your
child has the version of the book that is shown in the Current Literature
section in the left margin of this blog.
This week in history we will finish our
study of African Kingdoms during the Middle Ages. We will focus on the Songhai Empire and the travels of Ibn
Battuta. At the end of the week will begin our review for the quiz on Monday
1/29.
In Math we will continue our unit on decimals. Students
will learn how decimals apply to money, how to convert a fraction to a decimal
and also how to compare decimals.
Thank you all for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Mr. Bergeron
