Hello 4B Families,

Important reminders:

  • Please have a conversation about classroom expectations and student accountability in learning and behaviour. See the School Messenger for more information.
  • Please email me if you are able to volunteer for our upcoming field trip in May. See the School Messenger for more information.
  • Please return the Human Sexuality form that was sent to you this Wednesday. They are due by Thursday, April 17th.
  • April 17th is our Family Open House Night. We have been working very hard to create beautiful documentation panels to show you. In addition, we are also excited to show you some of our writing, literacy stations and poetry when you come visit. There will also be prizes, games, and food trucks! Please note, the Hug & Go loop will be closed for afternoon pick up on Thursday, April 17 to allow for the Food Trucks to pull in and get prepped for service by 4:30. Families that use this loop for pick up are asked to please make alternative arrangements with your child on where you will meet them or park somewhere in the neighbourhood and walk in. A reminder that there is never stopping or parking in front of the school as this is our bus zone and we have five school buses and several daycare buses that use this area.
Here is what we have been up to:

Special Presentation - Jace and Henry (the author and illustrator) of the Kidsburgh Chronicles came to visit and talk to us about the process of writing and illustrating their books. The students learned a lot!!


 


Literacy Stations - We started working on our new stations. They are going good!
 

 

 

 
 
 

Drum Fit in P.E.!
 

 
 
 

Math - We are learning about Algebra (order of operations, isolating the variable and solving word problems). We also played a blooket :) Our Show What You Know will be later next week.
 

 

 

Root Words - Everyday, we learn 2 root words. We try to figure out what the definition is, and if we can use it in other words. Root words are important as they can help us figure out what multi-syllabic words mean and then we can use them in our writing. 
 

Poetry - We learned how to write Concrete, Colour and Personification poems.
 

 

 

 

Buddy Time :)

Have a reflective weekend!

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.

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. (...
