Weekly Update for December 6-10, 2010

Hello 4th graders and Family,

I want to start by saying thank you for helping me celebrate my "half" birthday! That was a wonderful, fun surprise.

This week we are finishing up Interim Exams, practicing for our show on Wednesday, as well as finishing up Unit 5 in math. Because our schedule is so full this week, I am only assigning two homework assignments this week.

In math this week we are continuing to work with estimation and rounding of large numbers as well as comparing data. We are also getting close to my goal of having everyone to the top of the Mountain of Math Facts. The students are working very hard in my classroom!

In Science we are going to learn how to identify different substances by looking at their properties. Today we are going to investigate with water. The students are enjoying this unit.

In social studies, we are going to begin contacting State Chambers of Commerce for information on specific states. We hope to get information sent to us from each state in our current unit. We are then going to use this information to create brochures about each state.

Don't for get this Wednesday is the 4th grade music program "Melton, the Warm-Hearted Snowman". The program begins at 6:30.
