This
week in reading, the students are developing theories about their main
characters based on the patterns from the character’s words, actions and
thoughts. In writing, the children are drafting their story scenes, focusing on
storytelling by using a strategy called Show, Don’t Tell.
Math
This
week in math the students will be reviewing unit two and preparing for their
final assessment. Our next unit will be following the metric system. The
students will be exploring measurements and conversions.
Science
This
week students will continue working on their understanding of forces and

are growing realistic fiction readers and writers in grade 4!

are doing this by thinking deeply about the characters. These CHARACTER
TRAITS https://drive.google.com/a/iskl.edu.my/file/d/1eZNOOCg1HTXuT8ahYze7hL7L0Pvj8et1/view?usp=sharing are useful in describing the character
based on their words, thoughts and actions.
