Wednesday September 7 and Thursday September 8

Good Morning,

Yesterday we kept ourselves very busy moving through our reading unit this week discussing Our National Parks. We talked about the food chain and how it affects the National Parks and what we can do to save our National Parks. The students were responsible for finding the Main Ideas and Details in our story we read. We discussed the three conjunction words used to join compound sentences together... Ask your child if they can remember these:) We did some math review using our handheld devices and then began Chapter 2 discussing missing addends in story problems. We finished up Chapter 1 Lesson 3 in science classifying animals.

Today we will read "Saving a National Park" and design a campaign for saving National Parks in our area. We will hopefully get a chance to work at stations this morning depending on what we get done in grammar and spelling. This afternoon the students have computers and PE. After those activities we will work with missing numbers in subtraction and finish Chapter 1 Lesson 4 in social studies: Natural Resources in America. Tomorrow is Friday which means a spelling test... be sure your child is studying tonight. We will also work with the Pre-School tomorrow and help them get acquainted with the IPads.

Have a great day!

Ms. Knudson and the 4th grade!
