Next week will be our last full five day week of the year! It will be the last week of Math Homework and the last week of fast facts. In Math, we will go back to measurement. We will be studying weight in the Customary system first with ounces, pounds, and tons. Students will walk around the room and search for things that are about an ounce and about a pound. Next, we will study weight in the metric system focusing on grams and kilograms. The latter part of the week we will work on capacity in the Customary and Metric system. Students will learn about "Gallon Man!"
In Science, we will be studying about Volcanoes in honor of Pompeii and our Rome study. We will be labeling parts of a volcano, building volcanoes out of model magic, painting our volcano, and erupting our volcano! The kids are definitely excited about next week. We will also learn the details of the destruction on Pompeii and read some interesting factual books about that event.
I have definitely seem some improvement in the fast fact grades and I am so excited that the kids are really taking this oh so important skill seriously. Please keep it up over the Summer. Your child's 4th grade Math success depends on it!
We will have Roman Numeral HW all next week. Here is a fun Roman Numeral YouTube video to try :)
Can't wait to see all of you on Wednesday at Noon for Publisher's Picnic! It will be a beautiful event and its always one of my most favorite every year.
Love, Ms. S
