Hola Parents and Guardians,
Welcome Back from a short break!
In math we are working on telling the time with a 24 hour clock. We are getting close to wrapping up our work on telling time. Students are working on a final knowledge check in. There will be more time in their futures... Students should be able to tell the time on a digital and analog clock and should also be able to understand and convert to a 24 hour clock. Students are encouraged to continue to practice telling the time at home and in the car, etc! But for now, in class we will be moving to our patterns unit.
In Spanish we worked on describing ourselves and sharing a bit about what we have in our lives, family, pets, etc. We had a review of how to use the verb gustar (to like). Today we practiced speaking about our likes. We are working towards writing a description about ourselves... coming soon!
Last Thursday, in English, teams of three were set off into the learning commons to complete a scavenger hunt about summaries. Only one team was able to find the right answer. Today we went through the answers together. After this, students were then tasked with reading a short story and writing a summary of their own. Summarizing is a big focus in grade 4 and we will be working on a lot of it. Students can be practicing this at home by sharing what they are reading and or watching.
In social we completed our first knowledge check-in about landforms, and we will be moving onto natural resources soon.
