Tuesday August 23, 2016

Good afternoon,

This morning during Grammar class we learned about the complete and simple subjects and predicates of sentences. During Reading students did two transitions of Daily 2. In Science class we did a great interactive lesson about why scientists compare data. Students were presented with a hypothetical problem where they had a new, smaller locker at school and they had to figure out if their backpacks would fit inside. First, they used standardized units of measure to measure the length, width, and height of their backpack and then they compared that data with the measurements of the locker. Finally, they were able to conclude whether their backpacks would fit or not. Well done everyone! In Math, we learned how to compare numbers up to nine digits using place value. They caught on very quickly and were able to do the practice page in class. Keep up the good work grade 4! During Social Studies we arranged our chairs in a discussion circle and started our second lesson on the Impact of Big Business. Students are getting better at breaking down big ideas and were able to understand numerous new vocabulary words and concepts throughout the lesson. We will continue this tomorrow.

Julia Butterfly Hill lived in a giant Redwood tree for two years to keep it from being cut down. She climbed the tree, which was located in Northern California, on December 10, 1997. Many people helped her by bringing her food and supplies. She did not come down until the logging company promised never to cut the tree down.
