End of Quarter 2
Announcements:
Semester 2 changes:
Our upcoming second semester will bring about new, exciting changes for your scholars, and we want you all to be best prepared for them. Starting on Monday, January 5, we will begin departmentalizing, meaning your scholars will have different teachers for certain subjects. Mr. Cho, Ms. Cunningham, and Ms. Conlon will be rotating out of your scholar’s classroom for math, history/science, and literature respectively. We are looking forward to getting to know all of the fourth grade students!
Project Week
Make sure to work hard on your project during this week off! Email your child’s teacher if you have any remaining questions. We will be presenting on Friday, 1/22; we look forward to seeing your hard work!

ELA:
Our scholars can say “Carry On, Mr. Bowditch” now that they have finished reading another classic! We are excited to begin the Princess and the Goblin in Quarter 3. However, new novels are not the only new content for ELA. Our scholars will begin working in their second Well-ordered Language textbook very soon. Congratulations, 4th Grade, on your continued journey as readers and writers!
Math:
We encourage scholars to continue reviewing the skills we have learned thus far this year. We want to see them master their math facts, show their knowledge of lines, and demonstrate their understanding of fractions. After Project Week, we will continue to learn about geometry by examining and comparing the characteristics of polygons.
History:
Hello Spartan families! This week we have had a blast learning more about Medieval Africa. We started off the week learning about the kingdoms of Kush and Aksum, before we discussed the wonders of the Trans-Saharan Trade Route. When quarter 3 begins, we will be exploring the kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. The end of our chapter on African kingdoms will be ending shortly, and then we will dive into American history! Have a great weekend!
Science:
Happy Friday! Scholars did great work reviewing energy and then celebrating their knowledge with a brief quiz. We then had fun getting to set up an investigation to find evidence for how sound transfers energy using just a plastic cup and sticky note. Scholars did excellent work as scientists asking good questions and testing their predictions!
