Week ending October 21

Reminder!

Picture Day: Tuesday, October 25th

Our class and individual photos will be taken around 12:00 on this day.

Next week Wednesday, we will be having a summative assessment of our study on Whole Numbers in Math. Until then, we will be reviewing on a daily basis, with a focus on problem solving. Please help your child to practise identifying the important information, determining the operation(or strategy), and framing their answers in a sentence. They should also be able to answer the question, "How do you know?"

In Science, we are finishing up our unit on Habitats and Communities with a research project on Endangered Animals. The students will be choosing an endangered animal to research, and investigating the impact humans have on them and their habitat. Please look out for more details later in the week. 


This week in Drama, we are continuing to focus on Role and Character with a specific focus on varying voice. You child will be bringing home a paired/choral reading piece that allows for rhyme, rhythm and repetition. Please listen to them as they read and practise their section for an upcoming performance. Remind them to take on the role of their character and use their voice to convey their feelings. 




Every Friday, I have been assigning a Math question on the Google Classroom. When possible, please give your child the opportunity to log on to respond and submit their thinking. If this is not possible, please let me know and they will have time to complete this in class.
 



Thank you all for signing your child's rubrics and evaluations promptly. I am also asking that you sign their Agendas on a daily basis. This is to be done when you know they have completed all their homework. This way your child knows they are accountable to both you and me, and that we are all partners in their learning. They need to understand that they are accountable for their actions as they learn to be responsible young learners in grade 4. Thank you again for your support!
