Fourth Grade’s November News!
We had a very successful month of October in fourth grade as the students took on many new challenges! The students demonstrated new skills and talents as well as creativity all month long! As our first grading quarter comes to a close and we move into the month of November, we will move into some fascinating new topics and hands-on projects in all area!
Reading:
We will be reading all about business! We will explore the process of how businesses are established, ways they become successful, and how many give back to communities. Students will even have the opportunity to create their own business and pitch their ideas to the class! We will also be doing a “Reader’s Theater” through our Wonders Series. Students will be assigned roles in a play, master their part, and perform for the class. Students will also have an exciting creative writing opportunity where they will pen their own script and perform their play for the class!
Science:
We are beginning a new unit where we will discover how energy works through all its unique forms! Students will conduct experiments where they create their very own energy devices with sound, light, electricity, and heat. They will build functioning electrical circuits and work up to designing their very own community warning system for this unit’s STEM challenge!
Social Studies:
We will have an in-depth study of Pennsylvania during the time of the Native Americans! Students will learn all about the different tribes including their cultures, traditions, beliefs, and ways of life. Students will be creating their own diorama showing what Pennsylvania would have looked like back then, as an opportunity to bring these ideas to life!
