This unit begins with an overview of where myths come from, and what the characteristics of good myths are followed by a unit of critiquing and consuming common myths. Students will compare and contrast how authors from different cultures write about similar themes in stories, myths and traditional literature and they will read fourth grade text aloud with accuracy, expression and appropriate rate. Once students complete myths, they begin briefly reviewing the differences between fiction and nonfiction, followed by learning good strategies on how to research facts, and summarizing only important information. Students conclude this unit with writing a biography successfully.

This trimester begins by developing students’ concepts of “substances” and “chemical reactions.” We see that chemical reactions enable us to make new materials by transforming the ones we have. The results of these reactions are interesting and sometimes profoundly useful. There will be an emphasis on experimentation and questioning practices in this topic. Then we continue to focus on the physical sciences by developing the idea that sound is an actual thing, a wave of vibrations traveling through the air. Equipped with this understanding, students can begin to make sense of how sound and music work. There will be an emphasis on the engineering and design practices in this topic.

Mitos y Poesía:

A través de los mitos, reforzará la fluidez y comprensión lectora. A través del proceso de escritura el estudiante redactará sus propios mitos, desarrollará habilidades para aplicar las reglas básicas de gramática (adjetivos calificativos, sustantivos propios y comunes, pronombres personales y artículos determinantes) y de ortografía (uso de mayúsculas, signos de puntuación, interrogación y exclamación,...)

De igual manera, se familiarizará con las obras de diversos autores utilizándolos como inspiración para luego expresar sus opiniones y redactar sus propios poemas. También demostrará la comprensión de palabras al relacionarlas con sus opuestos (antónimos) y con palabras de significados similares (sinónimos). En escritura redactará poemas para expresar emociones y percepciones del mundo a través de figuras literarias (metáforas,, símil, hipérbole…)
