Grade 4

Hello Families!

Our Grade 4 students have been busy learning and growing, and we can’t wait to share all the exciting activities that took place last month. Let’s dive right in!

February

In math, we wrapped up our geometry unit! 📐 Students explored lines, angles, quadrilaterals, and triangles, and even learned how to use a protractor like pros!

In reading, we delved into historical fiction, analyzing the narrator's point of view and enhancing our vocabulary with synonyms. 📚

Our young authors made great strides in writing as they developed characters, settings, and plots for their narratives. They also practiced writing and punctuating dialogue correctly. ✍️

In science, students kicked off their final project for our biology unit, discovering how light helps animals see. They explored the different structures of the eye and learned about animals with varying light sensitivity. 🔬

In social studies, the World Tour projects continued, focusing on the five themes of geography. 🌍

March

Looking ahead, we’re excited to start our fraction unit in math! Students will learn to represent fractions using tape diagrams, and will dive into decomposing fractions and finding equivalences. 🍰

In reading, we’ll explore the wonderful world of poetry, examining themes and learning about connotation/denotation to boost our vocabulary. Later this month, we’ll also tackle expository texts to summarize and sequence information while continuing our study of synonyms and antonyms.

In writing, we’ll wrap up our narrative unit for trimester 2 and transition to opinion writing. Students will learn how to express their opinions on various topics, providing reasons and details to support their views. 📝

In science, we’re excited to begin our geology unit, where we’ll explore fossils and rock layers. 🪨

In social studies, students will continue their exploration of United States regions, further enhancing their geography knowledge.
