This week in grade 4....
We started our investigation of simple machines in Science. Ask me what 2 of the 6 simple machines we have learned so far. Ask me where you would see this simple machine, why we would use this simple machine, and what would happen to the force/load on the lever if you move the fulcrum.
In math we started learning about fractions, Ask me to show you the 4 different ways to represent a fraction (Fraction Bar, Circle Fraction, Parts of a group, Number line). Ask me to try this Fraction word problem: There were 18 ducks on a pond. 4 flew away. What fraction of the ducks were left?
In literacy we are starting a book club, we have each picked a book we are interested in reading. We will be completing a book project in the end. Ask me what book I picked, and what book project I chose.
To end our week we learned about the artist Romero Britto. He is a modern day master of colour and composition. Ask me what I noticed when looking at his art work. We started our own Romero Britto inspired art.
Hope you have a great weekend, Mrs. Caravan
