Dear 4D Parents,

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Another week has passed quickly and it is hard to believe we are approaching the end of the year. We still have so many exciting things to learn and I am looking forward to the next few weeks!

As the weather begins to get warmer please ensure your child brings a water bottle each day. I want to make sure students stay hydrated and do not need to leave class excessively to get drinks.

This week in Math, we will explore area and perimeter. We’ll start with a review of area and perimeter of rectangles and squares. We will then discuss finding the area and perimeter of composite figures.

In Carry On, Mr. Bowditch, we’ll follow Nat as he continues to travel around the world and begins to discover his life work: writing a guide for sailing that any common sailor could read.

We will begin our unit on plants in science this week. We will look at the difference between vascular and non vascular plants and learn about photosynthesis. 

In history this week we will review for our test on Thursday. Study guides will be filled out in class on Monday and can be used to study each night. We will review in class on Tuesday. On Thursday, Students will also receive their rubric, outline and more information about their 5-paragraph essay on a historical figure from the American Revolution. 

I hope you all have a great week!

Sincerely,
Mr. Bergeron
