 Monday in Language Arts we started our novel study: Fantastic Mr. Fox! Throughout this novel students will complete a daily activity that connects to a comprehension skill (i.e., predicting, connecting, inferring, summarizing, visualizing, questioning, analyzing). They will also be answering comprehension questions.

Today students began writing their persuasive letters about animal care. Our big goal is to simply take information researched and put it into complete sentences. Some other goals for this assignment include proper capitalization, using our spelling dictionaries, and using specific words.

In Social Studies, students have done lots of work on their Google Slide presentations. They are quick learners when it comes to technology! Being a strong typer will be helpful this year, as we do use the computers quite often. Students can practice proper typing at home by going on www.typingclub.com.

In Math this week, both grades completed the Math Programming assessment. This is an assessment to help teachers gain an understanding of strengths and gaps in learning. Grade three will have their first Jump Math quiz on Thursday. This quiz will be sent home for parents to see how their child did.

Don't forget, there are still two days to bring in fundraising money for the Terry Fox Foundation! Our Terry Fox Run is on Thursday, and we will have our movie celebration Thursday afternoon. 

Don't forget to sign up for virtual Meet the Teacher on either Thursday evening or Friday morning. No school Friday due to Meet the Teacher.

Important Reminder: Last week, students brought home "family interview" questions about their family history. Some students have still not completed their interview. Please complete them tonight and bring them back to school tomorrow so that all students can get started on their collage. In order to personalize their collage, students may want to include family photos. These photos will be well taken care of, and included in a wonderful project that will be sent home at the end of the month.  :) Mrs. Rowein

 Happy Monday! Its another busy week full of new learning. Here are a few things parents will need to support their children with: 1. Science- your student has been asked to collect trash (can be recyclable items or not) to bring to school for a project on Friday. Please make sure anything they are collecting is clean and safe to handle. 2. Health- Grade fours brought home a short and simple interview to help start conversation around changes during puberty. 3. Social Studies- All students brought home interview questions to examine their own family's experiences with immigration. This information will be very important to students, as it is the basis for their next big Social Studies project. Please answer the questions in detail with your child and send them back to school by Friday April 16.  :) Mrs. Rowein

 The countdown is on for Spring Break! Students have been busy wrapping up projects and units before their week off. In Language Arts, students have now finished writing their Important Books. We are also reading a class novel called A Boy Called BAT. In Math, grade 3 have finished their unit on measurement and perimetre. This week we are having some fun with mental math, and learning thinking strategies that can help us with math in the real world. Science ended in a frustrating fashion. I had purchased a building kit to create cars. Unfortunately, the materials were very flimsy, and as hard as we tried to problem solve, most of our cars ended up breaking apart when we tried to make them move. It did teach us a lesson in patience and the importance of strong materials when building! Our most recent Social Studies unit is wrapping up as well. Today, students completed a writing assessment where they answered our "Big Question" for the unit in paragraph form. Now, we are creat...
