Google Calendar
4E has a Google calendar, which shows important school events as well as large homework assignments. You can see and subscribe to this calendar either through your student’s account or through the 4E class Moodle page. Please contact me if you have any questions or need help.

Hope you have a Fantastic Diwali Break!
I hope you all get a chance to rest and have a wonderful time with family.
I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures.

Please read below to learn what is happening in the units when we return:

Literacy:
Students have been working to explore characters in the books they read. When we return, students will use the reading strategies and character trait skills they have learned to start book clubs. In book clubs, students need to come to reading workshop with details, explanations and their thinking written so they can fully participate with their group.
Students will be writing a 5 Point Essay about their experiences in India. A five-point essay has one introductory paragraph, three body paragraphs with support and development, and one concluding paragraph.

Math:
We will continue to work conceptually with multiplying, dividing, and solving word problems.  Students will continue to work on:
·      Multiply or divide to solve word problems by drawing models, writing equations and solving for a missing number.
·      Represent word problems by using equations with a letter standing for the unknown number.
·      Find all factor pairs for a number 1 to 100.

Social Studies:  The Geography of South Asia
Students have started working on a movie that shows how Pangaea formed the Himalaya Mountains. Students have watched the first segment, Daughter of the Mountains, with 4A and started taking visual notes. We will continue to add to our movie about the Himalayas to show how the Ganges was formed. From this video, we will start to move from how the geological features of South Asia affect the culture and life of the people who live here.


Sincerely,
Ms. Chris and Ms. Lauren
