Oct 14-18

Welcome to a short week! I hope you had a great weekend together with your family. As your children enjoy the day off tomorrow, there are a few websites they can look into.
1. Raz-kids. This is linked on the gal.lethsd.ab.ca website. This is a great reading website at their level and counts for home reading too!
2. Mathfactspro.com I introduced this site last week in computer class and it is a great five minute a day practice of basic facts.
3. Spelling City. Again, this will have an assignment attached each week in which your child will have two weeks to complete.
A few other reminders:
**We will be hosting a clothing exchange next week. If you have some clothing to donate, bring it in before Friday.
**Picture retakes will be on October 21st.
**With Halloween approaching I want to explain how we do things a little differently at the Grade 4 level. We don't do an official Halloween party with snacks rather we have a Halloween-themed-curriculum-based afternoon. We feel that with the kids going trick-or-treating they need an afternoon full of treats as well (and we just had a movie and popcorn party too!). We will still have fun and we are looking forward to seeing the kids' cosutmes! Just a reminder that the students will come to school in the morning dressed to do the Halloween parade and the afternoon will consist of the Energy Day Assembly and fun centers. Feel free for you child to bring a change of clothing if they don't want to spend the entire day in their costume.
