What We Are Learning
Reading/Social Studies: We have
started our unit on Washington, D.C. Students
are reading a story titled, “So You Want to Be President?”. They also took a
virtual tour of our nation’s capital using a Kids Discover app. As a
culminating activity, students will construct gingerbread houses based on major
landmarks, monuments, or memorials in Washington, D.C.
Writing: We enjoyed
and appreciated seeing so many of you at our “Most Thankful Tea”! The students were very excited to share their
writing with you. Students are now researching
a landmark in Washington, D.C. and will be writing an informational pamphlet
about it. Ask your child which landmark he/she is studying!
Math: Students are using different strategies to
complete long division problems. This is
a difficult skill to master for our 4th graders, and we encourage
the kids to persevere and not give up. We remind the students that even though
the math is hard, they can do it! Keep
studying those math facts!
