Try Everything in 4^th Grade!

What We Are Learning

Reading: Students are enjoying the novel, Tuck Everlasting.  They are exploring the theme of the book: Why would or wouldn’t someone want to live forever?  If you can, read the novel yourself and discuss it with your child.

Science: Students have been busy exploring weathering and erosion.  They are working in centers to learn about the causes and effects of weathering and erosion.

Writing: Using an acronym can help children to remember important information.  Students will be 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.
