 Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This week in LA we have been learning about the theme of a story.  Theme is harder to figure out than the characters, setting, plot, problem and solution.  Theme is the underlying message that a story is trying to pass on to the reader.  Students are finding this element of story challenging.  We will be continuing this work for the rest of the week.

In Math, we have gone back to talking about place value, especially since the Grade 4s have been introduced to decimals.  The language around hundreds vs. hundredths is a little confusing for some students.

In Science today we made paper airplanes and talked about force being needed to make them go.  We also talked about the best designs for them, and what real airplanes would be made out of.

In Social Studies we investigated the historic people and development of India.
