Grade 4
Weekly Newsletter
November 19 - November 23, 2018
Language Arts
This week the students will be using the class read aloud to dig deeper into character traits, scene summaries and envisioning the text in order to read intensely. In writing, many children are ready to develop a believable character and plan the story arc with scenes for their story.
Math
This week in math the students will be finishing up our unit on multiplication and division. Students will continue to review remainders through real world word problems, and we will also be reviewing the entire unit and doing some small group re-teaching, if need be.
Science
In Science, we will introduce the concepts of Potential and Kinetic Energy and allow students to start exploring the impact of forces and motion by testing different variables on a ball and ramp structure. Students will then summarise their understanding and noticings using relevant science vocabulary.
