Hello Grade 4 families,

Important reminders:

  • AFTER-SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS
    • We have made multiple requests for students to go directly home after school. Students are not to remain on the playground or anywhere on school grounds after dismissal unless they are directly supervised by a parent or guardian.
    • Unsupervised play after school is leading to serious issues, including peer conflicts, fights, and aggressive behavior. These incidents are disrupting our ability to provide a safe, respectful, and focused learning environment and are impacting teaching and learning the following day.
    • We need your full support in ensuring that all children leave school property immediately after the bell. Your cooperation is essential to maintaining a safe and caring environment for all students.
  • PERSONAL ITEMS ARE NOT PERMITTED AT SCHOOL
    • Students are not to bring toys, collectibles, stuffed animals, make-up, or similar personal items to school. These items are a distraction from learning and are causing problems—including being lost, traded, or stolen—which take valuable time away from teaching.
    • This expectation has been clearly communicated to students multiple times and was also included in a previous edition of the Northern Lights News.
    • Effective immediately, any such items brought out at school will be collected by staff and held until arrangements can be made for them to be returned to families through a parent or guardian.
    • We appreciate your support in reinforcing this message at home to help us maintain a focused and respectful learning environment.
  • PLEASE REVIEW THIS VISUAL AT HOME!

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. (...
