This week's learning

ELA&Writing:
Students will complete their informational writing this week wrapping up our writing for the year. Students have created an informational blog about their topic to share with their peers! We will also be completing our classroom "favorites of fourth grade" poem book.

Math:
We have completed our last unit of math! This week will be filled with reviewing of important concepts from the year.

Science:
We will complete our final science mystery this week answering the question, "Where does energy come from?" Students will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of different sources of energy, including burnable fuels and alternative (renewable) energies. In the activity, Power this Town, students obtain and combine information about wind energy, solar energy, and water energy. They use this information to determine the best alternative energy sources for a town called Boulderville.
