Introduction: Hola Grado 4 We hope you had a great weekend with your families. 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. On Fridays we will also have our “Café de Español” with Sra Dávalos between 11-12 in order to practice oral Spanish. We will be having a Google Meet this Friday at 1:30 pm in our homerooms. 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 starting a new topic: Decimals There is nothing to hand in for marking this week. All of the activities are for practice.  1. Review the Googles Slides called "Introduction to Decimals". 2. There is nothing to hand in from reviewing these slides. There are many practice activities, try them in your notebook. There are also videos to help you to understand decimals, watch them! 3. Ask your teacher if you don't understand something (post a comment or send an email). 4. When you have finished, there is a Google Slides called "Read and Write Decimals to Hundredths". You have your own copy to practice on.  5. When you have finished all of this for the week, click "Turn in" on the assignment in the classroom so your teacher knows you have finished Math for the week.

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 reading the final two chapters of "Esperanza Rising". 1. This week you need to listen to Los Duraznos and Las Uvas. 2. Review the exemplar (to what you should be doing) for the writing journal prompt. Answer the journal prompt in your English journal Journal Prompt: Do you think Esperanza's life was better when she lived in Mexico or does she have a better life now in California? Give MANY (5+) examples from the text to support your answer.

Spanish Language Arts: This week you do NOT have to write in your Spanish journal.  1. In your presentation "Los personajes de la novela Esperanza Renace," add any NEW information you know about the characters after listening to the final two chapters. This is your final week to edit and revise your work. You need to turn your work in when you are finished.  Next week you will be discussing how you think the characters changed in Spanish with your teachers in the small group meet.

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 8. Students have 1 week (Monday-Sunday) to finish the assignments.
