Curriculum Corner

Math 

We will continue learning about 3D nets/shapes and capacity. This week the students will be a little more hands on with math as they will be creating their own 3D model and poster. A note went home Friday explaining the project,  so students can begin to collect items needed for their project. Please keep in mind that students will be using class time to create their math project on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Language

We are finally wrapping up our novel study, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. We have read, answered questions and laughed at Fudge and his shenanigans. Last week, we discussed book report options and how the grade 4's can present their understanding of the novel. It's simple, yet fun. There is so much excitement surrounding their book reports, that I am looking forward to seeing what the students come up with.

This week in Language, we will launch our Legends unit. The Grade 4's will read and learn about the features of legendary tales.

Social Studies

We continue learning about early societies. The class discussions are so full of meaning, with added personal connections. So much learning is happening and what a pleasure it is to see the students grow. Please watch for a note to come home soon about a special day, we have planned for the students. :)
