4B - Mrs. Yanosko

Happy New Year! As the second half of the year starts off we are off to a running start. We have a big focus on being responsible and respectful to all others. In math class we are dividing by one digit numbers. We are estimating quotients, using multiples, investigating and interpreting remainders, finding compatible numbers, using distributive property, and deciding where to place the first digit when completing long division. During science, we are discussing how earthquakes and volcanoes impact our Earth. Students built multiple structures and tested them with an 'earthquake', researched the Richter Scale and different magnitudes of earthquakes, and found out our crust is always moving with different boundaries. As we start volcanoes, we will learn about 3 types and even get to experiment with how volcanoes erupt! In Language Arts, we just finished our verbs unit and are starting to write a persuasive essay. We will have to try and persuade someone with detailed reasons. Reading has been "as easy as PIE" as we learn about author's purpose!! During the month of December we created and sent Christmas cards to 30 different schools. We wrote about our Catholic Christmas traditions and decorated the card with the Nativity scene. As we got cards back, we tracked them on a map of the United States. We even got one from Singapore! We are looking forward to the next couple of winter months as we continue SOARING in fourth grade!!!
