Introduction: Hola Grado 4 We hope you had an excellent weekend! On Monday we have our office hours. Teachers will be available to support you at 2:30 on Google Meet. If you don’t understand and assignment or a concept please drop in and ask. Email your teacher if you have any questions On Tuesdays & Wednesdays we will have some small group time. You can find your time and group on Google Classroom. Please make sure to come to your Google Meet if you cannot make it please join another group. This Friday we do NOT have a community circle or Spanish Café con Sra. Davalos as it is a Professional Development (PD) Day If the time does not work just email your teacher at their @educbe.ca account. Some of you will have a different time in comparison to last week. Every week we will have material for you to go through as well as assignments. You will be able to find them all on Google Classroom. Remember that you need to be respectful and follow the digital citizenship expectations!  Please go through the Google Presentation entitled “Grade 4 Weekly Schedule” You will notice on the “stream” that there is very little you have to go through your classes for the information! Remember that the work should take approximately 5 hours each week. When you are done with the assignments and you know you have done a good job, you can continue to read on Raz Kids, and do math prodigy for extra practice!

Math: Please review all slides over the week. The topics you will see are: congruency, symmetry, and prisms. The activities in the slides are optional for you to complete or take notes in your Math journal. Your assignment is the final slide. Your assignment this week is to look for examples of rectangular and triangular prisms in real life. This activity is similar to fractions in real life that you completed. Be creative!

English Language Arts: Post 1: Please write a journal entry about your week. Include what you have been doing, what you have been learning, what you have been feeling, what you have been reading. In other words, explain what it is like to be a grade 4 student during the covid crisis. Post 2: This week we will be continuing our novel study. We will be listening/reading the novel “Esperanza Rising by Pam Ryan Muñoz. This week Please review the slides 30-38 (Las Guayabas & Los Melones) You will be responding to the following prompt in your online Journal: There are a few times in this chapter where Esperanza is told that she is now a poor peasant. Provide evidence from the text (minimum 2) that shows Esperanza is having a difficult time accepting this fact. Remember to write in paragraph form with details and transition words.

Spanish Language Arts: As we continue reading the novel Esperanza Rising, you will be using this presentation to write about the characters, what they look like and their personalities. When you read the novel, pay attention to how the author describes the characters, what they look like and their relation to each other (e.g. family, friends, workers, etc.). As the story develops, the author will explain how the characters' actions and thoughts affect each other. By the end of the story, you will also notice how the characters change their personality and character. The task: As you read the novel, write about the characters, what they look like and their personalities in Spanish. If you have typed a full slide about one character and you need more space, you need to create a new slide below that one. Every week, when you finish adding new information to your presentation, you need to click on "turn in" so your teacher can see your work. Some weeks you will have more information about certain characters, and some weeks you won't get any additional information about the characters. This week you may want to think about Papa, Mama, Esperanza, Alfonso, Hortensia, Miguel. This is an ONGOING project so you will not finish this in one sitting! There is NO diario de Español this week

Google Classroom & Parent Resources: There are documents that break these assignments down in google classroom under parent resources. Teachers have also moved all past assignments to week 5. Students have 1 week (Monday-Sunday) to finish the assignments.
