4-A1 and 4A2

Welcome to our 4th grade Dual Language website! We look forward to working with you and your children this school year. We hope that this website will help create a easier and faster way to communicate with you as well as keep you up to date with all the exciting learning and events going on in our class and academy!

We are starting a new module for Ready Gen which begins with the text entitled, The Birchbark House. We are targeting Common Core Learning Standard W.4.1. Write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons and information. Readers will compare and contrast texts to analyze ideas. Writers will use text-based evidence to write a compare and contrast essay. Learners will explore content to understand how interactions among communities impact the culture and ways of life of people.

Here are some helpful links for your child to work on at home to improve their reading comprehension.
