Q3Week3

Dear Parents,

I hope you all are enjoying Martin Luther King day. This week we will be beginning the long endeavor of memorizing Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It is a very long poem can certainly be frustrating, but I have seen many fourth graders master it before. We will be setting weekly goals for memorization which will be put in the students agenda. Make sure they are keeping up with these goals, we do not want them to have to memorizing 10 stanzas in a single week.

In class this week:

1) In History we will be learning about the French and Indian War and the early grievances that began the strife between the American Colonies and England.

2) In Reading we will be continuing the Princess and the Goblin. There will be fewer focus question assignments to make time for Paul Revere's ride memorization, but make sure your student is still keeping up with the story.

3) In Writing we will be learning about and diagramming sentences with conjunctions.

Best,

Mr. Ohayashi
