Sorry for the late post!!
Our routines are becoming set, and the classroom is feeling more and more like home. These kids are doing a great job adapting to grade 4. I'm sure some days they feel like we're running a hundred kilometres an hour but they don't complain! Things will get easier as they become even more familiar with our schedule.
Notes:
- The Terry Fox run is happening next week and we are going to start collecting "Toonies for Terry." If you'd like to make a donation, please send it in to our classroom.
- Letters went home today about Reading Rewards - a fun way for students to track their reading and get rewarded for it. This is meant to be fun for the kids and hopefully encourage reading.
Curriculum:
- Math: We have started our graphing unit. Ways to help at home: look for graphs in books, online, in the newspaper (if you still get it!), etc. Talk about how we share information.
- L.A.
- Spelling: The first list went out today. Students took home a letter and a set of words to practice.
- Writing: We are working away at our "Small Moments" unit that will turn into a Life Map. Today we wrote about our earliest memories.
- Science: Our experiments this week will look at how light is reflected. There will be a quick quiz on Thursday. How you can help at home: go on a light scavenger hunt! Which objects make the best reflectors?
- Social: This week we will be turning back time to look at how Alberta began. How can you help at home? Ask your child to tell you the two different versions of Alberta's creation.
