Hello everyone,

Here are some important reminders:

  • Please make sure you are practicing your multiplication times tables at home. Becoming more fluent with multiplication will help with future math concepts we will be learning in Grade 4.
  • If you are going to be away for any reason (extended holiday, illness, doctors appointment, etc.) please let the school know (you can also send me an email).

Here is what we have been up to up this week: 

Literacy Stations - Two new literacy stations this week (editing and persuasive writing).

 

 
 

Math - We learned about fact families for multiplication and division. We have been playing Multiplication War and learning 2-digit by 1-digit and 3-digit by 1-digit multiplication. Our Show What You Know will be next week - so make sure you are practicing your basic facts at home. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Wish Tree - We wrote wishes for the world :)
 

Writing - We are learning about persuasive paragraphs. We tried to change Ms. Vashi's mind about her favourite snack by writing a persuasive paragraph about our favourite snack. 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Science - We are learning about contact and non-contact forces (ask your child about this).
 

 

 

P.E. - We are ready to show our dance to our peers next week.

Kudos to everyone who is practicing their multiplication at home!!!

Art - Today was part 1 of our holiday lights art project. Next week, we will be finishing our bright lights :)
 

 

Congratulations - to our Read to Win Winners! Make sure you are reading at home so that you can be entered to win FREE laser tag tickets.

Hello everyone, Important reminders: May 1st (next Thursday) is PJ Day for 4B! The students showed effort, perseverance and kindness to earn hearts for our class jar. They got to vote between three options and chose PJ Day . Students will be allowed to bring 1 stuffy on this day. As long as their stuffy does not interfere with their or someone else's learning, students can have their stuffies on their desks. Please email me if you are able to volunteer for our upcoming field trip in May. Our class is looking for two more volunteers!

Hello 4B Families! Important reminders: Our Family Math Night has been cancelled, as schools are not able to host evening events due to the CUPE Local 40 strike. If plans are made in the future to reschedule, we will communicate details at that time. Thanks for your understanding! Next week, the weather is supposed to be warmer. This will mean that the playground will be slushy and muddy. Please help your child dress in footwear that will keep their feet dry. Running shoes are not the safest or best choice for playing outside in this type of weather. All students (from K-5) should always keep a change of clothes in their backpacks that they can change into if they get wet or muddy. This includes socks, pants, shirts and underwear. Having clothes to change into will ensure they are comfortable and that they classroom is staying clean. Here is what we have been up to this week: Literacy Stations - Below is the success criteria and expectations for our literacy stations. We had a convers...

Hello everyone, I have the BEST students :) Here is what we have been up to up this week: Writing - We are learning about procedural writing. We practiced writing instructions on our whiteboards about simple things (how to tie your shoelaces, how to build a fort, how to do long division). We then practiced writing in our writing journal.                      Gratitude - We wrote about what makes us smile :) Science - We are learning about static electricity. Ask your child about this! Math - We started learning about long division. We will continue practicing next week. We took a short break from it to learn about collecting data and graphing. As we are moving towards more complex math concepts, it is really important to be fluent with your multiplication facts.          Have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm! Important Dates January 27 - Report Cards for K-5 available online within your MyCBE parent account. (...
