I hope everyone had a restful and happy weekend. We continue to collect items for our upcoming Christmas sale so please remember to donate any items you may have at home that you no longer want that may make appropriate gifts for others. Also, please remember to bring in the food items your child selected to donate to the family we are supporting this holiday season. Your child should have brought home a letter with this information on it. Many thanks to those who have donated so far.
For homework this week, please see the attached form. Also, students should continue to read on Raz Kids. The user name is scooper47. I will be setting individual passwords with each child. Please have your child work on Dreambox as well. I have pre-selected units for your child to work on.
Please see the updates below:
Math: Grade 4's will take a more in depth look at decimal tenths and fractions. Grade 3's continue to work on money problems and to explore a variety of ways to solve them. This includes highlighting important information, understanding what operation is required and what question is being asked to ensure it is being answered. Number lines and drawing money are successful strategies to solve these problems.
Language: We continue to look at our APEs strategy for answering questions based on written material. We will also continue to read Charlotte's Web.
Science: We had Mr. Ball in to demonstrate the use of pulleys for us as the grade 4 students are beginning this unit. This was a fun demonstration that all the students got to participate in and benefit from. The grade 4's are also continuing to put the finishing touches on the Rocks and Minerals projects that they have been working on at school. The grade 3's will continue to work on their projects on Soil at school this week.
