4th Grade News
With Christmas just around the corner, the 4th grade has been very busy. We have been preparing for our annual Christmas Concert with the 3rd graders. This year’s concert went perfectly and we all shared some Christmas cheer in the gym afterwards with some cookies and punch. We are having a secret Santa book exchange in the classroom where students have secretly picked a name and will buy a book for another classmate. We also shared in decorating our classroom door and have a Christmas tree in our classroom. With the season of Advent comes great joy! We wish everyone a very, Merry Christmas!
In addition to the many Christmas activities we have been learning many new things. In math we are spending a great amount of time on multiplication and division. In science, we are studying the Earth and our solar system. We have a field trip to the Air and Space Museum to enrich our learning of space exploration and the universe. In social studies we are studying about our country’s democratic system of government and good citizenship. We do a great deal in reading including spelling, vocabulary, grammar, and learning new comprehension skills. Learning all these new ideas can be hard work but it is also fun!
