December 14-18th
This week in reading we will be comparing and contrasting Christmas books and movies. This will include reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas, watching the movie, and comparing the two of them. Our spelling will be Christmas List #2 and students should turn in their 20 points on Friday. Students should still be filling in a Reading Log for this week, and it will be due on the Monday we get back in January.
This week in writing we will be reading our PJ Day letters to Mr. Campbell. These are due Monday. Students need to make sure that they have typed their letter and shared it with me so that I can grade it. We will also start writing a persuasive letter to Santa this week. This one will not be graded though.
This week in math we will learning about equivalent fractions. We will learn ways to find equivalent fractions and identify if fractions are equivalent to each other. We will also learn how to find common denominators between fractions and do word problems with fractions. Also, on Friday will be our Multiplication Ice Cream party. If your student hasn't passed of all their facts through 12, please help them study so they can pass off as much as they can before Friday!
This week in social studies we will be taking our Counties Test. My class takes this on Monday and Mrs. Ditto's on Tuesday. Most students have studied very hard for this test and I'm very proud of them!
Lastly, here are a couple last things to remember. On Wednesday we will have our 4th grade PJ day. We read letters to Mr. Campbell and he decided to let us have the PJ day!!! Students are NOT to bring pillows and blankets. It is not a party, just a day that we can wear our PJs. Also, our Christmas Sing will be on Thursday at 9:30 and 1:00. Please have your students wear a red or white shirt. And please come and hear us sing! They can wear a Santa Hat if they wish. It will be so much fun! Finally, on Friday will be our school wide PJ day. Students will be allowed to bring pillows and blankets because we will be having a class party that day as well.

Holly Jolly Christmas
Holly Jolly Christmas
Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Ho ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh, bygolly
Have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
Have a holly jolly Christmas
It’s the best time of the year
Have a holly jolly Christmas

Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Ho ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh, bygolly
Have a holly jolly Christmas

This week in reading we will be doing some reviewing. We will review writing non-fiction summaries and will review rocks which students have been learning in science. Our spelling until Christmas will be lists of Christmas words. This week will be Christmas List #1. Students should still complete 20 points worth of activities this week to turn in on Friday. Students should also complete their Reading Log as well to turn in on Monday.
This week in writing we will be finishing our PJ Day letter. Students should be finished with their pre-writes. If they did not finish this in class, they were supposed to bring it home today to finish. We have started our rough drafts in class, so students should be finishing their rough draft, editing and revising it, and typing it on the computer. We will also put them into My Access. Hopefully, students' scores should increase from their Turkey Letters. I also will be showing students their scores on their Turkey Letters and giving them ideas to help their PJ letter be better than the Turkey Letter.
This week in math we will be taking our Place Value Test. We will review on Tuesday and students should come home with their pre-test to study from. We will take the test on Wednesday and then move on to Equivalent Fractions. In Target Time we will be reviewing Word Problems one last time. On Friday we will take our Word Problems test in Target Time.
This week in social studies our main focus will be on studying our counties. We will do a few other small activities but we will mainly finish our quizzes and study for the final test. Mrs. Ditto's class is taking their 2nd quiz on Monday. The 3rd and final quiz will be on Thursday for my class and Friday for Mrs. Ditto's class. The final test will be next week on Monday 12/14 for my class and Tuesday 12/15 for Mrs. Ditto's class. I have included the 3rd quiz's study guide and the final study guide here.

This week in reading we will be discussing connections
between oral and visual presentations of a story. We will be reading the BFG
Play and Where the Wild Things Are. Then, we will watch video clips
of each and looking for connections. Our spelling will be Sort 29. Students
need to do 20 points and turn them in on Friday. Students need to fill out a
reading log for this week and turn it in on Monday as well. For last week,
students only needed to fill in for Monday and Tuesday.
This week in writing we will be continuing our
persuasive/opinion unit. We will begin a letter trying to persuade Mr. Campbell
to or not to give us a Pajama Day just for the 4th grade. These will
be due on Monday, December 14th when we will read them and pick 1
person to read their letter to Mr. Campbell. Students Turkey Letters were due
last week so if they have not been turned in, they need to be finished at home
and turned in.
This week in math we will be continuing to learn about place
value. We will do some reviewing and learn how to rename numbers. This tends to
be a hard concept for students. Here is an example. If I have 1,000 ones, it is
the same as 100 tens, or 10 hundreds.
