June 15-21

Introduction: Hola Grado 4, the countdown is on to the end of the year - WOW! Time has flown by!  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 week there are NO Google Meets on Friday because of the Dalhousie Drive-By from 10am-11am. We hope to see you there!  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: This week we are continuing with Decimals. 1. Review the videos called "How to add decimals" and "How to subtract decimals". 2. Then, you can listen to the song "Adding and Subtracting Decimals Song". 3. Ask your teacher if you don't understand something (post a comment or send an email). We are here to help you!  4. When you have finished, there is a file called "How much is your name worth?". It shows a dollar value for each letter of the alphabet. In your Math notebook, calculate how much your name (first and last name) is worth by adding the decimal values.  5. When you have finished calculating the total value of your name, take a picture of your work, upload it to the Classroom, and click "Turn in".

English Language Arts: Activity 1: OPTIONAL this week - 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. Activity 2: This week we will be reading the Epilogue from "Esperanza Rising". 1. This week you need to listen to The Epilogue 2. Then, there are some optional activities you can complete from Esperanza Rising. Activity 3: Please go over the slides called "Letter to a future Grade 4 student". These slides explain the expectations for two letters that you need to start writing this week. You can write the letters in Google Docs or in your English notebook. First, you will write a letter to a future Grade 4 student, describing what Grade 4 is like. Second, you will write a letter to your Grade 5 teacher, telling them a bit about yourself. You will have two weeks to work on these letters, they are due on June 26.

Spanish Language Arts: This week you do NOT have to write in your Spanish journal.  1. Complete the Google Form about "Esperanza Rising" for your classroom teacher.
