Up and Coming this Week (March 30 - April 3) in Room 37

Welcome back from a refreshing weekend everyone!

Here are a few things to look forward to this week in Room 37:

Field Trip

On Monday morning at 9:45, grade 4 students will make a short field trip to secondary in order to view the artworks of the Diploma Art students. Grade 4 students will fill out response sheets about different works of art that they see. They will also ask the Diploma Art students how society has influenced their creations.

As we will miss morning break at elementary as a result of this trip, please send your child to school on Monday morning with a snack, as he/she will not be able to purchase one on this day. 

Mathematics

This week we will be adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators before beginning a study of adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators using the ideas about renaming and finding fractions with common units from last week.

Unit of Inquiry / Language Arts

This week during reading workshop, students are developing their proficiency with the reading strategy of visualisation. They will begin the week by investigating how descriptive language causes them to visualise images and scenes from texts that they are reading. During class, they will pick a descriptive passage from "Charlotte's Web" and sketch a scene based on what the text describes. This also connects to a weekly homework assignment that students had last week, in which they had to similarly pick a descriptive passage in the book they were reading and sketch it.

In writing workshop, students will be finishing drafting and publishing descriptive sensory poems about their bedrooms and school places. Students will publish these poems on photo collages they will be making by using Picmonkey.

Student Led Conferences on Friday, April 3 (No class for students)

Students will be discussing their learning with you while guiding you through their blog/portfolio. Your child will also take you to his/her specialist classes to share work from there. If you are unsure of your scheduled appointment, please ask Ms. Kaltrina in the office at kaltrinarexhepi@ispp.edu.kh.
