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
