Week of 2/23 Newsletter

Hello!

We have another busy week ahead of us!

FIELD TRIPS

>Our field trip to the Santa Cruz Symphony is on Monday from 10-1:00. Thank you in advance to all of the parents who will be driving and chaperoning. We look forward to this enriching experience!
>In your child's Monday Folder, you will find a permission slip to our upcoming field trip to the Tech Museum on March 10. Please sign and return it by Tuesday, March 4. You can send your fee directly to the office. If you'd like to drive, please complete the form on the Field Trip Information page on this site.

SCIENCE FAIR

>This week your child should be analyzing the collected data from his/her experiment and writing the summary report. I will be happy to allow students time during class to type the report if they would like. Just let me know if you'd like your child to have the time and I'll make it happen.
>Projects and reports are due on Tuesday, March 3. Students will be presenting their projects to a classmate for a video assignment.

WHAT WE'RE LEARNING

>MATH: The entire class is focusing on Collecting and Analyzing Data. Students are expected to find the mean, median, mode and range (video below) of specific data sets as well as organize data into a variety of different graphs and models (line plots, line plots, and bar graphs).

>SCIENCE: 4th Graders are working with circuits and making motors run with D-cell batteries. 

>ELA: We are continuing to work with the Young Writer's Project, focused on writing with figurative language and sensory details using a variety of sentence types. We will learn about different forms of poetry as well.

>SOCIAL SCIENCES: Students are learning about important historical figures who participated in the American Revolution.

HW CLUB

>I'm sorry, but we will NOT be having Homework Club this week. We will resume the following week on Thursday, March 5.

Thank you, as always, for all of the tremendous support both in class and at home. Our students are very lucky to have such amazing parents/families! If you have any questions, please email me at rhonig@mountaines.org.

Take care,

Mrs. Honig

    Finding mean, median and mode: Here we give you a set of numbers and then ask you to find the mean, median, and mode. It's your first opportunity to practice with us!
