Week at a Glance January 9-13

Language

There is reading homework this week.  Students need to listen / read / complete quiz for 2 books on Raz-kids.  For spelling, there is a homework activity page to complete.  The Grade 3 words are: way, these, niece, might, show, float, brain, mean, close, tried cube, uniform, stayed, price, usually.  The Grade 4 Nifty Thrifty Fifty words are: dishonest, illegal, irresponsible, misunderstand, performance, rearrange.

We are doing something new this month.  Each week students will have a book of the week.  That book is a "good fit" book for the student, but all the books have common elements.  This week we are learning about how to read non-fiction books.  We are also practicing how to identify the main idea in paragraphs.

Math

We will be thinking and practicing multiplication this month.  We are practicing the 4 times table this week.  Today the grade 4's learned how to answer 30 x 500 using mental math!

PBL

We are continuing to build our inventions that use simple machines.  On Friday we will have a presentation day!

Music

Each Monday and Wednesday the students will need to bring their recorders.  They'll need to practice their songs at home!
