In humanities, the students continue to focus on their writing skills. They are writing paragraphs using a web to organize their ideas. Each paragraph consists of a topic sentence, main ideas with evidence to support their thinking and a conclusion that ties into their topic sentence and leaves their reader with a hope, wish, or question.
In Science, we looked at our simple machines and are writing a nonfiction summary on the simple machines we used to build ours and how they connect to the real world.
During math, the students worked in groups to solve how many magic keys can one create based on a pentomino. This is a polygon in the plane made of 5 equal sides that connect that connect edge to edge. There are 12 different free pentominoes.
Important Information:
- Our grade 4 students are going to be apart of our school wide announcements next week. They will be discussing "responsibility" with our students. Responsibility is one virtue at Ken Taylor School. Feel free to ask your child about our green screen presentation.
