Hello again! We had such a fun week here in Room 11! In ELA we wrapped up our personal narratives by adding strong leads that hook the readers attention. We also worked on using "show don't tell" to include emotions in our stories. For example, saying I leaned back with wide eyes instead of saying I was surprised. Students also reviewed persuasive writing and wrote their final 4th grade essay.
In Science students did an experiment with sugar cubes to understand the process of weathering and how this process explains why rocks at the tops of mountains are jagged, while those at the bottom are rounded. We also finished up our very short unit on electrical circuits.
We had so much fun on our trip to the Bronx Zoo this week! Thanks again to all of our chaperones for helping us have such a smooth and enjoyable day!!
It is hard to believe that we only have two weeks left of fourth grade!! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
A few reminders:
- Our pool party will be on Wednesday, June 14th. I will send home a note on Monday with specifics about the day.
- The Chuck and Duck Dodgeball Tournament will be held after school on Thursday at the High School!
