Palio is this Friday!
Students will be dismissed at 11:30pm on Friday so that we can set up for Palio. EDP will be available. Please drop off your child in our classroom no later than 5:30pm on Friday. They need to wear their Palio shirt, navy blue tumbling pants/shorts, and white socks. Please email me if your child does NOT have a Palio shirt.
National School Walk-Out
Students in Middle and Upper school from Roycemore, Chiaravalle and Beacon will be gathering together in front of Beacon for a program remembering those who lost their lives in the Parkland shooting. There will be speeches, names of the lost read aloud, and a call and response to end gun violence. Fourth grade as a whole is not attending, we will have PE as normally scheduled. However, if you do want your child to participate, please email me to give your permission. Mrs. O'Donnell will accompany those going.
Chicago History Unit

|
Students are learning about the history of Chicago. A few topics we are focusing on are the Potawatomi Tribe, Abraham Lincoln's run for president, the Great Chicago Fire, and the World's Fair. The novels we are reading are Fair Weather by Richard Peck and I Survived the Great Chicago Fire, 1871 by Lauren Tarshis.
Math
This past week, fourth grade math worked on comparing fractions and finding equivalent fractions using many different strategies. We will be simplifying fractions in the upcoming week. Fifth grade math is focusing on dividing with decimals. Every morning, students work on a spiral review of math skills in order to review all of the skills we have learned previously.
