Language Arts Notes:

We are continuing our unit on earthquakes.  We are currently reading a fiction story, Quakes, written in first person about the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.  New objectives are listed on the study guide passed out in class. 

Remember to have your child read 20 minutes per night as well as go on IXL to practice language arts skills at home.

As you begin planning spring and summer trips, consider that all fourth graders can get a free pass to all U.S. National Parks through August!  Check out https://everykidinapark.gov/ for more information about this wonderful opportunity!
