The standard for 4th grade requires students to memorize multiplication facts from 1 x 1 through 11 x 11. Please take time with your child nightly to study these facts with them. Students can create their own flash cards, or the Dollar Stores sell them for a dollar as well. Currently we are working on multi-digit multiplication in class and we will be moving on to division shortly thereafter. Students who are struggling now will only struggle more as we continue on with new strategies.

Science

We will begin this 9 weeks with Stars and the Solar System. Students will exemplify the location and order of the planets as they orbit the Sun and the main composition of the planets. Students will need to know the names, location, and order of the planets. Students will begin their daily journal observations of the phases of the Moon. Students will create a Google Drawing of the Sun and the Planets that revolve around it.

We went to the science lab where Dr. Thompson showed us how evaporation and condensation work.

We are investigating why there is water on the outside of one cup and not the other.

We are investigating where the water on the outside of the cup came from.

We are seeing science in action!

Here is our water cycle bulletin board, along with the students' illustrations of the water cycle.

Field Study!!

Today we had a blast at the Lexington County Museum and Historical Restoration! We had the chance to experience and learn what daily life was like for Native Americans.
