Class Activities for May 31st-June 3rd

 Hello everybody!!

Well we are officially on the homestretch.  I hope all our grade 4 families are looking forward to a relaxing summer holiday.  Here's to a great last few weeks of school!

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who was a part of our baby shower this past Friday.  Magda and I were truly touched.  We are very lucky to be part of such a caring community here at Discovery.

This Week's Classroom Activities:

MATH

This week we will be working on interpreting information from bar graphs, pie graphs, and line charts.  We will also be practicing calculating elapsed time, which seems to be very difficult for our students.

READING

We will be finishing our class novel, "Because of Winn-Dixie" and watching the movie version.  We will be having a class discussion where we will compare and contrast the book with the movie version of the story.  We will also finishing our class read aloud, "The Adventures of Edward Tulane", a fantastic book by the same author as "Because of Winn-Dixie".

WRITING

We will be writing our end of year reflections this week.  Before doing so each student will take a look at their very first journal entry of the year to see how much they've improved as writer's over the course of the year, and to remind themselves how they felt back in August this year.

SCIENCE

For our final assessment in Science the students will be creating an open circuit with a switch that should be able to turn connect and disconnect their circuit with ease.  We will also have a follow up lesson to the experiment that identified the difference between conductors and insulators.


Here's to a great week in grade 4.  Thanks for reading,

Jordan Rose
