Language Arts

In Language Arts, we will finish our nonfiction unit learning about text features and the structure of non-fiction books.


Math

    This week in math, we will be our unit on measurement.  We will focus on relative size for the week.

  • Identify relative sizes of measurement units within the customary and metric system.
  • Analyze a picture to find the appropriate measurement.

          

        Next week in math, we will continue with measurement and we will focus on                     conversions.

  • Convert measurements within the same measurement system, customary or metric, from a smaller unit.
  • Solve problems involving length, intervals of time, liquid volumes, mass, and money using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, as appropriate.

Social Studies   

In Social Studies this week, learners will finish learning about the new settlers and the empresarios who helped them settle the land.


Science:

   This week in science we will continue learning about the different types of energy.

    • Differentiate among forms of energy, including mechanical, electrical, light, thermal, and sound.



    Please make sure that you are reading the Principal Newsletter each week as it will have more information about events and important reminders that we will not have in our BLOG.  Please click the picture below and it will take you to the newsletter.


    iPads

    TCE 4th graders should come to school each day with their iPad and charger. Please ensure your child charges his/her iPad each evening. Your child should also check periodically to ensure his/her iPad's software is up to date (settings --> general --> software update). 
    Learners will continue filling in a "Charge Bank" to keep track of their daily iPad battery charge.  We hope this helps learners to become responsible for making sure their iPad is fully charged and in their backpacks each morning.  Below, is the daily tracker they will fill out each morning when they arrive to school.


    Please remember school issued iPads are for school use only.  We do random iPad checks every few weeks. We reminded the students daily that school issued iPads are not for personal photography, books, or communicating with friends or parents via emails or chats, or watching videos on you tube that were not assigned by their teacher. It would help us out if you could reinforce this home.

This program provides families in need with a complete Thanksgiving dinner for the entire family.

The deadline to sign up for a basket is October 20th, 2023.
