Dear 4th Grade Families,
It was so great to see so many of you on Friday! Our students did a wonderful job performing with their recorders for the first time. Thanks for celebrating with us!

- 20-30 minutes of reading, 5 times a week – 5 Reading Responses
- We’re moving into Nonfiction so I will be asking students to read and respond using nonfiction texts
Our Week:
- Math: We will be taking our Unit 3 test Tuesday! Students have reviewed multiplication, solving for variables, and using parentheses in this unit. Next, we move into studying decimals.
- Reading: Nonfiction texts surround us! Students are exploring texts with partners. We are studying different text structures so that we can better understand the information shared.
- Writing: This week, we share our writing with one another with our Publishing Celebration. Next, we will move into Opinion writing.
- Religion: We are learning about how to form a good conscience by studying what Christ and his Church teach us.
- Social Studies: We’ll study more about the CA Natives’ culture and environment.
- Science: As we continue learning about the formation of rocks, we ask the question: Can a mountain last forever? Our lab activity last week with “lava” was an exciting time!
Let’s have a great (short) week,
Ms. Schmaeling
