The Grade 3 students had a great time at Swim to Survive on Friday. While they were swimming, the Grade 4s enjoyed paying some special attention to their reading buddies in Grade 1.
The grade 3s have another swimming session this Friday. Friday is also the school Valentine's Dance. See the Weekly Memo for details. Items for our homeroom Valentine's basket can still be brought in. We are in need of non-food items like a red and white table cloth, pasta bowl, candles or anything else that would enhance the basket.
For Homework this week, both grades should complete any unfinished math homework in their math books. Please send the book back to school each day. The Grade 3s will bring home a language worksheet as well.
Please see the updates below:
Math: Grade 3s have finished telling time to five minute intervals, and Grade 4s to one minute intervals. Both grades will look next at elapsed time.
The attached links will provide information to Grade 4 parents about math concepts covered this week that students will use to complete their homework. They cover median, mode and stem and leaf plots. Mean is also covered at the beginning of one video and students have looked at this concept quickly but it is not a focus so feel free to skip ahead.

Language: For Media Literacy, the students had a good look at some advertising tricks used for specific target audiences. They will include this information on the covers of their goal setting pieces to try to persuade others to try their goal activity with them. They will also be designing a cereal box cover.
