Unit 3, Week 1 (continued)- January 13,
2014
This week we are continuing our
Chris Van Allsburg author study, and for a final culminating activity the
students will be creating board games based on one of Van Allsburg’s books.
Make sure you ask your child what book they are working with. In Science we are
beginning a unit on simple machines and are starting to think out our Science
Fair projects (don’t worry, we will be completing these in class!) This week’s spelling words are fourth grade
sight words (same words as last week), which are words that fourth graders are
expected to be able to read and spell with 100% accuracy, though they are
typically misspelled by many. Please practice these words at home as well. Let’s
have a great week!
