What We Are Learning
Reading: Students examined
some sophisticated themes and thematic statements while reading the book, Tuck Everlasting. As a culminating project for our study of the
book, students will either write a newspaper article or write a letter from the
perspective of the main character, Winnie.
Science: During the
month of February, we will be working on science projects. Please look for an email giving you detailed
information on the East Falmouth 4th Grade Science Fair, as well as
the town-wide Science Fair.
Writing: Using an
acronym can help children to remember important information. Students have been using a “M-E-T-A-L”
organizer to help them plan their writing for Evidence Based Responses
(EBRs). Students will be using this
METAL organizer moving forward at Morse Pond School.
Math: Students have begun a unit on fractions. We continue to encourage the kids to
persevere and not give up, especially on multi-step word problems. Please help your child to see fractions in
their daily lives. Seeing real-world
examples can help make fractions more accessible for kids.
