Educational Targets:

Math:

Students will continue stations on unit 8 which are math concepts to prepare our students for fifth grade next year. This will consist of problem solving, review of some concepts learned this year, and touching on concepts they will learn next year.

Science/ Social Studies:

We will continue to do activities on the unit called Soils, Rocks, and Landforms. They will learn how to draw a topographic map that includes contour lines and contour intervals.

Language Arts:

They will work on their grammar skill on homophones and the reading comprehension skill this week is problem/solution. For writing, students have different choices to choose from to write about unless they are finishing their animal story.
