Next Up!


March is right around the corner and W-4 is gearing up to tackle some awesome curriculum. Here's a peek at what is to come:


MATH: Size, Shape, and Symmetry


Students continue their measurement work from earlier grades by measuring distance and perimeter using both U.S. and metric units. Classification of two-dimensional shapes, compare the size of angles, and work with linear and area measurement.  Students will define and categorize polygons by identifying sets of shapes that have a common attribute and use 90 degrees as a reference for finding the measurement of other angles.


LITERACY: American Revolution

Students will be engaged in this non-fiction unit for the purpose of the following:
·      Historians realize there are always multiple points of view, and they pay careful attention to this so they can try to form a more complete understanding of what happened in the past.
·      Readers look at historical evidence and ask themselves "What does this tell me? What can I make of this? How can I use this to support my point of view?"
·      A good debater states a position, gives reasons to back up that position, and gives evidence to support each of their reasons.
·      Stage a Second Continental Congress Debate w/ students

This is an amazing unit and one I find the kids to love the most during the year!
