Winter Break Update (12.18.20.)

WINTER BREAK!

(12.14-12.18)

Have a fantastic time! Thank you for your hard work this last week of school.


Announcements:

Hot Cocoa Social

We enjoyed getting to reward scholars for the virtuous and respectful behavior with our first end of the month grade wide social reward. Scholars got to add some toppings to a warm cup of cocoa to enjoy outside before heading out for the break while friends from home joined over Zoom.

________________________________

Math:

When we return from break, we will be continuing our unit in Geometry. We encourage your scholar to continue reviewing the content about angles that we have learned thus far so that they are able to retain what they have learned! In January, we will be discussing perpendicular and parallel lines.


ELA:

This week in ELA our scholars continue to practice their recitation of “Paul Revere’s Ride”--thank you, Fourth Graders, for showing perseverance in this feat! Our scholars have also finished their section in Well-Ordered Language about Direct Objects and will begin learning about Subject Pronouns when they return from break! They will also continue to follow Nat’s journey in Carry On, Mr. Bowditch. Have a great winter break, Fourth Grade! You’ve earned it!


History:

This week we wrapped up our discussions on Islam, with a lesson on Islamic Culture and one lesson on The Crusades. When we come back from our break, we will be reviewing for a quiz on Islam so we can move onto our chapter on African kingdoms! Have a fantastic break, historians! I can’t wait to see you and hear all the great things you did over the break.


Science:

Scholars learned about food webs and the significance of Helen Keller and Louis Braille this week! We then began our new unit learning about how energy causes changes all around us like with lights or water changing states of matter. We hope you and your scholars have a wonderful break, and we will resume our investigations on energy when they return.
