Grade 4AW
Weekly Newsletter
September 3 - September 7, 2018
Language Arts
This week, the children will be developing skills to work with partners and grow ideas as readers. Partnerships are really beneficial when students know how to communicate well with each other and get the conversation started. In writing, the children will be focused on planning their opinion essays using a variety of tools.
Math
This week, students will continue to read and write multi-digit numbers in word form, expanded form and standard form. They will learn about the relationship between place and value and look at x10 more as a relationship as we move to the left of a place value chart. Later they will also begin to round numbers to the nearest place value. |

Social Studies
This week, we will continue looking at identity and what influences our values and behaviours. This theme will run throughout the unit as we begin our identity portraits and start addressing the next part of this unit which is, “ What is Culture?”.

- When you ask your child, “how was school today?”, does your child often answer with one-word answers such as, “good”? If so, consider these 15 questions to replace “How was school today?” (Edutopia)
