Grade 4

❄️ Welcome to Our Winter Wonderland in 4th Grade! ❄️

Hello, wonderful families of Ms. Desrochers and Mrs. Spokis' 4th Grade Class! As the snowflakes start to fall and the days get cozier, our classroom is buzzing with excitement and learning. We’re wrapping up some fantastic lessons and gearing up for new adventures that will keep our minds warm and curious all season long. Let’s dive into what we’ve been up to and what’s coming next!

❄️ Last Month’s Highlights ❄️

Last month, our learning journey was packed with discovery and growth:

  • Literacy: We explored plurals and compound words, began crafting our own narrative stories, read powerful texts about injustice, and practiced identifying different types of verbs.
  • Math: We wrapped up our work on long division and started exploring the fascinating world of angles.
  • Science: Our curious scientists learned about Tokay Geckos, the properties of light, and how animals use their senses to survive.
  • Social Studies: We traveled through the Northeast region, learning about its capitals, abbreviations, and key cities.

     

    ❄️ What’s Coming Up Next Month? ❄️

    As we continue to embrace the winter season, here’s what’s on the horizon:

    • Literacy: We will keep building our narrative writing skills and dive deeper into reading comprehension.
    • Math: We’ll continue our study of angles, learning how to measure acute, obtuse, and right angles using protractors.
    • Science: Our investigation into the Tokay Geckos continues as we explore why they are struggling to survive in the rainforest and how light plays a role in their environment.
    • Social Studies: We’ll journey south to the Southeast region, discovering its capitals, abbreviations, and important cities.

    ❄️ Things to Remember ❄️

    • Encourage your young readers and writers to share their narrative stories at home — or stories in general — storytelling is a great way to build confidence!
    • Winter weather is here! Make sure your child comes to school dressed warmly for outdoor recess and any special winter activities.

    ❄️ Wrapping Up with Warm Wishes! ❄️

    We’re so proud of all the hard work and enthusiasm our 4th graders are showing this winter season. With so many exciting lessons ahead, we can’t wait to see their curiosity and creativity shine bright like twinkling holiday lights. Stay cozy, stay curious, and let’s make this winter a season of joyful learning together! ⛄📚✨
