Dear Families,
We have been so busy in fourth grade since our last blog update! We apologize for the length in between...
Humanities: We have been working hard on developing opinion pieces. Students will be choosing a school related issue to write about. They will be trying to persuade their audience to have the same opinion as they do. We read the novel, Wringer and have had many deep discussions on peer pressure and standing up for what you believe in. Students tracked how characters change over time.
Upcoming Dates:
4/2-4/6 ELA SBAC
4/16-4/20 April Vacation
