This week was a short, but busy one for our fourth graders! In humanities we continued to develop our understanding of the Goldilocks Zone, and had more chances to practice this skill individually and with the support of our classmates. We began using a graphic organizer to identify connections between the ideas about our names, and our identity. This meant looking back at the ideas we generated last week and digging deeply to identify connections that we could "warm up" for our readers. Fourth graders will be compiling their ideas into a polished draft next week! During class and library time fourth graders also began to have individual reading conferences with their teachers. It is exciting for us to learn about each child as a reader in order to identify ways to support their journey this year! Ask your child to share the chapter book that they are reading with you. We also continued our exploration of the Zones of Regulation, challenging students to create skits identifying how to get out of tricky situations that took their out of the Green Zone. The fourth graders already have interesting ideas about how to handle challenging situations! Thank you to everyone for returning the FreshGrade forms this week! We look forward to sharing your child's portfolio with you as they get more familiar with their iPads in the coming weeks! REMINDERS:
