READING- This week's story is on Magnetism and how magnets work. All of the stories in this unit deal with Science and we will begin each week with an experiment to go over the steps of the Scientific Method. This is a great practice for completing a Science Fair project, which is required for ALL 4th graders.

WRITING- We are working on Narrative and Expository writing this week. On Friday, each student will be passed out a prompt randomly. This is why it is so important that er know how to write BOTH types of prompts. When it is time for FCAT Writing, we have no clue what kind they will get.

MATH- We are starting a 40 day countdown review this week. Monday-Friday the students will have 5 morning work problems on different benchmarks, but each day will cover the same benchmark. On Friday, they will have a quiz on the 5 types of problems we have worked on all week. We are also working on expressions and equations with variables.

Monday- Homework packets are sent home. Writing homework for tonight should be turned in tomorrow.

Tuesday- No reminders for today.

Wednesday- Wednesday folders and progress alerts will be sent home! Please sign and return on THURSDAY!
