Week of December 9, 2019

What’s Happening in Fourth Grade


Week of December 9, 2019


Reading (Mrs. Isaminger):
This week, the students will continue to work on reading skills related to “The Power of
W.O.W” by Crystal Hubbard in their Journeys text. The Journeys text can be accessed
online through Think Central. Your child’s Think Central login information should be taped
on the front page of his or her planner. The students will have a reading test over “The
Power of W.O.W.” on Friday, December 13th. 


The students were introduced to the Wordly Wise Lesson 6 vocabulary words last week.
There will not be a Wordly Wise test over the lesson 6 vocabulary. Instead, the students
will be given an opportunity to earn extra credit by creating test questions related to the
lesson 6 words using a coding program. 


Language Arts (Mrs. Isaminger):
This week, the students will continue Chapter 5 of Shurley English. Chapter 5 teaches helping
verbs, the “not” adverb, natural and inverted word order, coordinate conjunctions, and
compound sentences. There will not be a Shurley English test this week.


Writing (Mrs. Isaminger):
This week, the students will write an essay about the three gifts they would give Jesus. The
students will also continue writing a chosen news article about an event happening at Dunham
or in the community. 


Bible (Miss Reech)
MV: Psalm 32:5 - “Then I admitted my sin to you. I didn’t cover up the wrong I had done.
I said, “I will admit my lawless act to the Lord and you forgave the guilt of my sin.”
We are concluding our lesson on sin’s consequences and the effect it has on others as
well as our heart. Our Bible test will be Tuesday, December 10. 


Spelling (Miss Reech)
10 words will be given Monday and Tuesday. Students received instructions on how to
complete homework for Monday and Tuesday located in their Reech folder. 7 words
will be used each night. On Wednesday we will take a practice test. If students make
a 100 A+, they do not have to take the test on Thursday. Our test on all 21 words
will be on Thursday.


Social Studies (Miss Reech)
We are continuing our chapter on Caribbean South America. We will be focusing on
the countries of Colombia, Venezuela, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname.  We have
learned about the geography of the area, and we are moving on to the history and
present day. We will also have a mystery Skype this week!


Science (Mrs. Jaques)
We will begin our new unit on energy and heat transfer. The students will identify and
describe conductors and insulators.  They will also discover how heat energy travels
from hot objects to cold objects. The students will get their new vocabulary words
on Monday. They will have a matching vocabulary test the following Monday, December 16.  

Math (Mrs. Jaques)
We will continue Chapter 12.  The students will multiply three and four-digit numbers
by two-digit numbers.  The students will also multiply money amounts. The Chapter 12
test will be on Wednesday, December 11.  On Tuesday, December 10, the students will
have a review quiz on their daily packet skills. They may use the packet for the quiz. On
Thursday, January 9, the students will have a timed basic-facts division test. They may
practice at the following website:
