We only have two days of school this week, so students will not have homework this week. We will resume our regular schedule next week. I am going to go ahead and put up the digital assignments that students will have next week.
I would like to thank our chaperones for helping out on our field trip to St. Augustine on Wednesday. The kids at so much fun. Students should have brought home a pass for free admission to the Castillo de San Marcos. Fourth graders actually get free admission to any National Park for the entire year that they are in 4th Grade. Visit https://everykidoutdoors.gov/index.htm for more information.

This week in math, we will continue our work with division and remainders. This week we will interpret remainders. Sometimes when answering a question the remainder should be ignored. And sometimes when answering a question you have to round the quotient up. There are times when the remainder is your answer.
On Tuesday we will work on multi-step word problems where students will have to decide which operation (multiplication or division) to use.
This week in science we will continue discussing heat energy. Heat (thermal) energy is the energy that moves between objects of different temperatures. Heat moves from warmer objects/places to cooler objects/places until both are the same temperature. Heat moves in three different ways; conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is when heat moves between objects that touch. Convection is heat movement through a liquid or a gas. Radiation is the transfer of heat without matter to carry it. Heat simply leaves one object and goes directly to another. Suppose you're standing near a campfire. You can feel the heat from the fire because it warms the air. But you can also feel the heat because it warms you directly through radiation.
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving,
Ms. Johnson
