Mrs. Olsen's 4th Grade Blog
Welcome back to the 2019-2020 school year!
This will be a weekly reminder of what is coming up in the following week. I will send it out as an email to the parents on Fridays.
General reminders:
1. Binders should come back and forth to school everyday with your child. Please check their binders for homework.
2. Make sure chromebooks are charged before coming to school everyday.
3. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or concerns you have with your child. jolsen@ccsd66.org
This is what we will be working on the for the week of October 21-26!
Spelling:
This week we will be working on some 4th grade spelling and vocabulary words. We will be practicing and learning these words throughout the week. The test will be Friday, October 26.
English:
You will see the Unit 1 test come home this week, please sign and return it for me. We started last week- Free Write Friday- the students got time to write whatever they want and share with the class. They can do a journal, a story, or anything they feel like writing about. They enjoyed this!
Reading:
We will continue with our new unit on Courage next week. We will be reading a story entitled Happy Birthday Dr. King. We will dig in deep to the story and theme within the story.
Social Studies/Science:
We learned about the Narragansett Native American tribe this week from the Northeast. We will be doing a project next week on creating a Narragansett village. We are working hard on figuring out what the problem is in Ergstown. We have created some simple electrical machines and experimented with them and finding their source of energy.
SEL:
Next week we will be learning how to understand complex feelings in classmates, friends, and family members. Look for the purple flyer to come home next Friday for activities to reinforce at home.
Mrs. Olsen's Math Class:
We will be having 2 checkpoints or quizzes next week. The first will be on Tuesday, October 22. The homework for Monday night will be reviewing what will be on it. The second one will be on Friday, October 25. Again, the homework on Thursday night will review what will be on the quiz too.
