November 21-22nd

Dear Parents,

It is a very short week this week! I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

Here is what we are doing in class this week:

Reading: This week we will be taking our next test. On Monday we will take our test and on Tuesday we will go over the test. It will focus mainly on Main Ideas and Key Details as well as some language concepts we have learned. There will be no spelling or reading log for this week. Students are still encouraged to read every day this week though!

Math: This week we will be continuing our Word Problems Unit. We will focus on multiple step division problems and will review estimating. We will have no math homework for the week!

Writing: This week we are finishing our opinion writing by writing about if we should eat turkeys for Thanksgiving or not. This is due on Tuesday November 22^nd, the last day before Thanksgiving Break. Students will type this and put it into myaccess.com for a score. They should know how to do this. They have their username and password glued into their planner.

Science: With a substitute, the students will watch a Bill Nye the Science Guy video about Rocks and Soil. They will also review a little bit about the water cycle.

Social Studies: This week in social studies we will continue to talk about recreation in Utah. We will work on our PowerPoint presentation of our favorite recreational activity in Utah. We will also study our Counties. Our first County Quiz will be on December 1^st and 2^nd. Quiz 2 will be December 7^th and 8^th. Quiz 3 will be December 13^th and 14^th. The final test will be on December 19^th for my class and December 20^th for Mrs. Ditto’s class. Answer keys for each of these quizzes and tests will be posted on my blog as well as links to help students study for them: http://mrswheatleysfourthgrade.blogspot.com/

This week’s homework:

Thanks!

Mrs. Wheatley
