My Wish in 4th Grade! 
News from the class of Mrs. Mele & Mrs. Karl
June Newsletter

What We Are Learning
Reading, Writing, and Social Studies: The kids have been immersed in an interdisciplinary unit on immigration. They have become quite the experts! After reading informational texts and chapter books, watching videos, and researching their own ancestry, the kids are now working on writing a class play about immigration.  They are creating their own characters and making decisions about the plot and setting.  We will be sending out an invitation to come watch the performance shortly.  We hope to see you all there!
Math:  We recently finished units on angles and parallel and perpendicular lines.  Next, students will be exploring squares and rectangles.  They will extend their understanding of angles and lines to find unknown angle measures and side lengths of squares and rectangles.  We will then move on to solving problems involving the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles. Please help your child to see squares and rectangles in their daily lives.  Seeing real-world examples can help bring math concepts to life.
