Goal for the Week:
Kindness Challenge: thank 3 people who show me kindness; give 3 genuine compliments; smile at as many people as I can
Coming up this week in class:
Continuing our Eureka Math module on multiplication and division, writing narratives, investigating the way animals use their sense receptors to survive, reading a legend called Why the Sea is Salty, analyzing literary elements, finding theme in stories, completing week 1 of the kindness challenge, and creating science-based toys in our Toymaker workshop!
Give Joy: Most of us in this community are so fortunate; we have more than we need. This holiday season, CVES is participating in its annual Give Joy Giving Campaign. The drive, which runs from 12/2 – 12/13, will be for non-perishable food items, toilet paper/toiletries, and small gifts/gift cards. See the list below for recommended grade level items: 4th - Toiletries- toothbrushes, floss, deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo/conditioner/lotion. All - Gift cards. Please read the attached doc for more information.
Math: Our Module 3 covers multi-digit multiplication and division. Practicing math facts during this time will be imperative!
This week:
Topic E: Division of Tens and Ones with Successive Remainders
Upcoming:
Topic F: Reasoning with Divisibility
Topic G: Division of Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, and Ones
Topic H: Multiplication of Two-Digit by Two-Digit Numbers

Reading: We are reading a folk tale from the Philippines, Why the Sea is Salty.
Our reading lessons focus on:
- Using Text Details to describe a setting
- Comparing and Contrasting Point of View
- Using Details to Determine Theme
- Analyzing Problems and Solutions
- Describing Characters and Events
- Determining Genre
Writing: We are beginning our study of narrative writing. Students will be working on stories with a beginning, middle, and end that include descriptive details for the setting, dialogue between characters, a clear sequence of events, and a problem and solution.
Science: Our guiding question is: How does an animal hunt and find food? Students will be using models and writing CERs (Claim; Evidence; Reasoning) to describe that animals receive different types of information through their senses, process the information in their brain, and respond to the information in different ways.
