Newsletter Weekly Update: Sept 25 - 29, 2017

Language Arts

This week we will begin our nonfiction reading unit and start off the unit exploring text features and previewing texts to make connections to the topic. In writing, children are developing mini-stories to support their reasons and continuing to draft their opinion pieces.

Math

The students are finishing up the Place Value Unit and will be taking the unit assessment this week. Our next unit will be multiplication and division of whole numbers.

Science/ Social Studies

Students will be using what they learned about the different cultural universals to help them collect information about their own personal culture. This is not necessarily the culture of their home country, but more the culture that is practiced in their everyday lives. Students will also be working on their identity posters as well.

Resources

As a grade level we have all been introduced to a site called “Biblionasium”. This site helps children to collect books onto their virtual bookshelf, write reviews about books and log their reading. Ask your child to show you around -log in to Biblionasium!

Announcements

ISKL will be administrating ISA Tests next week. Grade 4 will be tested on Thursday 28th of September and Friday 29th of September. Please make sure your child comes to school well rested and has had breakfast.
