Grade 4
Weekly Newsletter
December 17 - December 21, 2018
Language Arts
This week, the class will be finishing up the review of The Tiger Rising. They have been examining how the characters have changed throughout the story, examining the main themes as well as pondering what could happen next. In writing, students are completing the draft of their stories. They will also look at where to begin new paragraphs when typing up their stories online. When we return, the focus will be on editing and revising our stories with a partner.
Math
This week we are concluding our unit on Measurement by doing some review work and multi-step problem solving. We will also be assessing students on their knowledge through the unit assessment.
Science
In Science we will continue designing and building simple machine/ complex machine prototype that answers a real-life situation; the situations are varied and range from dog mobility issues to recycling machines to clearing up the ocean. Using their design, trying to build and realising that they need to make changes and adapt their design is an important part of the design thinking process.
