Social Studies

The test on Chapter 7 is postponed again to Tuesday, May 22, because I gave the 4th graders an extra 3 days to work on their ABC books. They received a study guide about 2 weeks ago on chapter 7, and I will review with them on Monday, May 21. The ABC books were due on Friday, May 18. We started the project on February 13. 

Math

We continue in our Algebra unit.  We will solve one step equations including adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.  We will manipulation whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.  Sounds like a great way to explore algebra while reviewing number computations. 

Language Arts/Writing

We have sent the letters and are starting to get a bit of feedback from the colleges. This next week we will work on our "I am" poems.
