This week in 4T we are reading "Can We Rescue the Reefs?" Our regular spelling and reading work patterns apply this week and the tests will be on Friday. In language, we continue to review pronouns. We will begin reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe next week so if you don't already, please have a copy for your child for daily use by Monday. In math, we are beginning double digit multiplication. This is a new, difficult skill for many fourth graders. Like with long division, it is very important that the students readily know their facts. If they don't, it makes this new concept even more difficult. Also, the math extra credit is due on Tuesday. In social studies, we have begun studying Unit 3. Student businesses will be open again on Friday. By Wednesday, please review and sign the Wax Museum page. Most of the research will be done in class. Please join us on Wednesday, Feb. 29 at 2:00 to learn about our Presidents and First Ladies. In religion, we are finishing Chapter 8 about the 10 Commandments with a test on Thursday. Finally, Tuesday is Valentine's Day. Students may pass out valentines to their classmates (a class list is listed in the back of the student directory) and wear jeans and a red or pink shirt.
