4B - Mrs. Yanosko

                                    

WELCOME TO 4B!
 Have you heard music in the hall? The fourth graders are very excited to finally learn how to play the recorders. We have heard that this is a fun part of music in fourth grade. We are completing our final drafts of our research essays. We have learned many interesting facts about our saints. Be sure to ask us if you see us in the hall. Fourth graders will begin to learn what is involved in writing a persuasive essay. We are excited for this. The Commandments continue to be our main focus. We are learning the Commandments and their meaning, how to apply it to our daily lives, how to write them, and how to say them aloud. Our goal is to memorize all Ten Commandments. Fourth graders have wrapped up our unit on weather, climate and severe storms, like tornadoes and hurricanes.  They learned that hurricanes get a name when it is a tropical storm and that the name stays with the hurricane until it reaches land.  They also learned about the Fujita scale, the ranking and severity of tornadoes and how to stay safe during a tornado.  Our new unit of study will be on electricity, heat, and matter.   This topic focuses on the conservation of matter and the processes of energy transfer and transformation, especially as they apply to heat and electrical energy. Fourth grade is all about division this month.  Students will divide by one digit divisors to find quotients with and without remainders and problem solve multistep problems.  They will estimate, interpret remainders and divide using compatible numbers, the distributive property, repeated subtraction, partial quotients, and model division with regrouping all the while concentrating on where to place the first digit in the quotient.  The 4th grade has been hard at work completing journal entries, comprehension questions, and group work related to our current novel Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. We are making great progress in our reading comprehension and vocabulary work. In Social Studies, we have just completed our unit on the Native Americans of early Ohio and are now ready to learn of Ohio's role in the Revolutionary War! It is hard to believe that we are half way through the year! We are very excited for the month of February and what is in store for us!
