Dec 8-12

What beautiful weather we were treated to this weekend!  I hope you were able to enjoy it as much as my family did.  We were away for a hockey tournament and got to spend some quality family time together. 

Curriculum:

• Math:
• We will be having the quiz for the Clocks and Calendar tomorrow (writing the date with words and in metric notation; telling time to the minute in two different ways [e.g. 5:30 and half past five]; 24-hour clocks).  Booklets were due last Friday.  I am missing a couple, so please double check with your child to make sure they handed it in.
• We will be doing line symmetry and tessellations in both math and art for the next two weeks.  We don't really need to do tessellations in grade 4 but it makes for a very cool art project :)  There is a "Lines of Symmetry" activity in the "Geometry" section of Splash Math.
• Language Arts:
• We are working on a very special project.  That is all. 
• Spelling - Lesson 4 will be due at the end of the week with a dictation on Thursday
• Social: Just finished the Parkland Region and will be moving on to the Boreal Forest Region. 
• Science: We will be learning more about wheels this week.
