Thank you for your continued support as we travel this unique fourth grade year together.
The students are doing excellent work on line by sharing new knowledge in large and smaller breakout room groups. Let your student know we are so pleased with their progress!
Remember: if you have a working at home picture you want to share please send them to Jonna Skokan at jskokan@st-johnschool.org
Academics this week:
Religion: October is the month of the Rosary. We take time daily to ask Mary for strength and guidance. Here is a video refresher of the Rosary
Math: Big Concept this week: Use place value understanding to round multi-digit numbers to any place value. We continue fluency practice of basic facts. Please work with your student 10 minutes a day on math facts and if time play games that require logical reasoning or math understanding.
Reading: Students will wrap up our novel study of Bunnicula by sharing their book report projects with classmates. Our focus for the week will be on reading, comprehending, and responding to non-fiction. Our topic focus is Hispanic Heritage Month.
Social Studies: Students will share their “Washington State Symbols” project. The class will read and discuss parts of chapter 1 from the Washington Adventure Book.
Writing: Our young authors will learn how to write a strong lead this week to hook the reader’s attention. We use mentor texts and give plenty of free write time.
