Language Arts

This week in writing, the children will be revising and editing their writing to prepare for publishing. In reading, we will continue exploring nonfiction texts, but switch our topic focus to Forces and Motion, in line with our upcoming Science unit.

Math

This week the students will be using the area model method to solve real world multiplication problems. It is suggested that the students brush up on their multiplication and division facts in order to help them solve these word problems.

Science/ Social Studies

We had a great culture share across grade 4 classes last week. This week, we are concluding our Culture and Identity Unit by looking at all of our learned knowledge, and tying it in with global citizenship.  Students will be writing a reflective piece on this topic.

Resources

We will be starting our new science unit soon. We are so excited to be learning about, Forces and Motion. Preview some of the content and vocabulary here for different kinds of simple machines: http://www.mikids.com/Smachines.htm
