4th Grade California Social Studies, State Report and Grammar:
Monday 5/4 and Tuesday 5/5 State Report
- Slide 5: Are there differences in season, temperature, or precipitation within your state? Why or why not?
Finally, start your 5th slide for your Climate PowerPoint presentation. It’s about how the seasons, weather, or precipitation are different in your state depending on where you are. This is usually the toughest slide for 4th and 5th graders to get right.
Let me give you an example of what I will be looking for. (4th graders may re-word my ideas to make them your own, don’t just copy my words.) If you were writing about California, you would say that southern California temperatures are mild year-round. In the fall, we have Santa Ana winds and wildfires, then in winter we get a rainy season. However, in the Central Valley their summers and winters are significantly hotter and colder than the weather down here, because they’re between two mountain ranges. There are also deserts and other climates you could talk about within the state.
The point of this slide is to connect what we’ve learned about geography this year with your state’s climate. Describe any differences that there are inside of your state and mention why these differences exist—does it rain more in one area or is it milder in another area because it’s along the coast of the ocean? Is it colder at the higher elevations in your state? Is there a desert, and do you know why?
You’ll work on this slide today and Tuesday. You can do complete sentences or bullet points with complete thoughts. You only have to do ONE slide with this information, so don’t go too overboard with details—just general statements are OK.
Monday Grammar (Try your best on the quizzes. They will not lower your grade. They are for practice and showing effort.)

FYI for next week****
We will be starting Chapter 12 next week. The textbook goes very fast through the American Revolution and some of the key battles are barely discussed. I will be slowing it down and having you read some of the textbook, watch different videos and take Word Document notes for each day next week. I also have many Liberty Kids Videos to watch. (This is for Shun who loves them) :) My daily plans follow the textbook topics and then I added videos where they fit in to make it easy for you to follow.
