We hope you all had a great weekend! Another awesome week in 4th grade is upon us, and we are ready to dive in! Please continue reading to check out our reminders, announcements, and homework schedule for the week. As always, please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions!
Some General Reminders and Announcements:
RELA, Math, and Social Studies/Science Blogs: This was posted back in previous blog posts, but we just wanted to pop it back in as we know everyone is still getting used the the flow of our blogs :) Just a quick reminder that we will be updating our 'content' blogs at the beginning of every unit. Blogs for our first units for all 4 core subjects have already been posted. If you have not checked them out yet, please do so so you can see what is being covered during the unit. Direct links are below, or you can access them by hovering over the '4th Grade Blog' header above until you see the drop down menu, and then select the blog you would like to check out.
We will transition to our first science unit (The Water Cycle and Weather) by the middle of the week, and will update the science blog, soon. We will make sure to communicate to you all when it is posted and ready for viewing.
