Dear Families, Fourth graders have started to prepare for Student-Led conferences, which are coming up on October 24th and October 25th. To help identify strengths and goals, students started thinking about social and academic skills that are practiced throughout our day. They were then asked to reflect on how these skills apply to their learning and whether it is a strength or a growing edge. Next week, fourth graders will identify specific strengths and goals for language arts, math, and social/emotional learning that they will share with you at the conference. A new classroom job in fourth grade is a news reporter. The role of the news reporter is to share current events that they find interesting. They could cut an article out of a newspaper, share a video from the internet, or simply relay facts that they learned about a topic of interest. Each week the news reporter will be on the lookout for current events to share with our class. This job is meant to be fun and spark interest about what is happening in the world around us. I’m always happy to help the news reporter the find time and resources to fulfill their job. This week, one student researched Indigenous People’s Day and presented it through a slideshow. Below are a few curriculum highlights: Math
Social Studies
Language Arts
Have a wonderful weekend! Warmly, Brigid Comments are closed.
