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 conversation on Tuesday about what the expectations are now that we are getting close to the end of Gr. 4.  Students tried a new station this week - Reader's Theatre. 
 


 


  

 


 
 

 

Writing - We are learning about Narrative Writing. We practiced writing 1-2 sentences to hook our reader and write an interesting beginning. We also had a discussion about why planning is very important. We spent some time planning on whiteboards. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Math - We had Math Stations for the 100th Day of School! We also started learning about personal strategies to multiply a three-digit by a one-digit number. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 


P.E. - We are learning about floor hockey.
 

 

Pink Shirt Day - We decorated our own pink shirts. Please wear pink next Wednesday.
 

 


NO MORE Blue Days (hopefully)!
 

Buddies - We read our stories to our buddies and then played an addition game with them. 
 

 

Have a spectacular weekend!

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. (...
