December 15-19th
This week in reading we are going to be comparing a book and a movie. We will be reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas and watching the movie. Then we will write a comparison essay about the similarities and the differences between the two of them. Our spelling will be Christmas List #2. Students still need to do the normal 20 points with this list as always.
This week in writing we are finishing our letters to Mr. Campbell. We will be reading them in class tomorrow, picking our class's best letter, and then we will read that letter to Mr. Campbell and the entire 4th grade. If he lets us, we will have our PJ day on Wednesday. To be considered for the person from our class who gets to read to Mr. Campbell, students MUST HAVE THEIR LETTER ON GOOGLE DOCS AND SHARED WITH ME BY TODAY!!!! If they didn't get it done in class today, they must finish it at home tonight.
This week in math we are going to be doing word problems with equivalent fractions. We are also going to be talking about how fractions compare to each other. We will learn how to tell which fraction is bigger and how to put fractions in order.
This week in social studies we will be taking our Counties Test. For my class, their test is tomorrow. For Miss Goldsborough's class, their test will be on Wednesday. We made posters telling how we can remember each county seat. I have posted pictures of them on my blog so students can use them to study.
Don't forget all of our fun things happening this week. We have our Christmas Sing this week on Thursday. You are invited to come listen to us sing at 9:30 or 1:00. I have posted a video of Holly Jolly Christmas with the English and Chinese words on my blog to help students learn the words. Also, don't forget that Friday will be our school pajama day since it is the last day before Christmas Break. It will be a common day so all students will start at 8:00 and end at 2:15. We will also be having our multiplication ice cream party that day for students who passed off each of their facts.

December 8-12th
This week in reading we will be reviewing a few things. First, we will be reviewing finding the main idea and writing summaries of non-fiction texts. Then we will be talking about the elements that make us a fluent reader: pausing, phrasing, intonation, stress, pace/rate, and integration of all the elements. Lastly, we will be reviewing finding the theme and making predictions. Our spelling this week is Christmas List #1. It is not sorted by category/type of word, but is just Christmas words. Students still need to do the regular 20 points worth of work for these words.
This week in writing we are working on writing our letters to Mr. Campbell persuading him on why we should or should not get a PJ day for the entire 4th grade. We will finish our 4-square drafts and edit and revise our letters. We will also start typing our letters.
This week in math we are starting our next unit on equivalent fractions. We will be focusing on finding equivalent fractions and finding common denominators for fractions. In Target Time we will also be working on fractions.
This week in social studies we will be finishing our County Quizzes. Our final test will be next week. We are also going to be doing a few geography activities.
Don't forget, we are doing penny wars this week. Students are encouraged to bring in their coins and bills to donate to help families in need this Christmas season. Also, we are practicing our songs for the Christmas Sing. We will be singing Holly Jolly Christmas and Jingle Bell Rock. I will have the songs posted on my blog so students can practice the words.

Since next week students will be starting their county quizzes and the following week they will take their county test, I thought I would show you a copy of what they are expected to know and do.
