Greeting parents and students,
I hope everyone is well and has enough energy to finish the end of our school year strongly. Our trip to the Montoya's last Thursday was a great success. We had a wonderful morning up in the hills of El Hatilo. Thanks again to Vivian Flores for being such a gracious host, and I apologize for the sunburnt students, I should have been more careful about re-applying sunscreen throughout the day. Mi Disculpe!
THIS WEEK'S ACTIVITIES:
Math: On Tuesday we will have our final Math chapter test of the year. The test will be on the what we've learned about measurement, decimals, and adding and subtracting fractions. On Wednesday we will begin our final Math strand of the year, graphing.
Reading: We will continue to read our class novel 'Because of Winn-Dixie'. As part of our reading skill, 'compare and contrast', we will begin watching the movie and discuss the similarities and differences that we find between the book and the film.
Writing: As we prepare to say goodbye to some of our grade 4 classmates, we will work on writing special notes of appreciation to each member of our class. This should be a 'feelgood' activity that will provide our departing students with a keepsake and memories of all their friends here at Discovery.
Science: Continuing with our Electricity unit, we will be learning about electric circuits and how they are created. We will then work on building our own circuits using a D cell battery, Fahnestock Clips, and a lightbulb. We will also learn about conductors and insulators, and see if we can use a paper clip to complete an electric circuit as a conductor of electricity.
Grammar: We will be looking at common and uncommon homonyms, and learning about how to not let them confuse us when reading and writing.
Thanks again for reading everybody. I hope all's well with you and yours. Sincerely,
Jordan Rose
