A note about word work...

Dear families,

Every week, students in room 10 and 11 receive new words to sort, spell, define and use in sentences and every week, students are expected to bring their words home to show their families and practice sorting, spelling, defining and using their words. Please remind your child to do word work at home to continue their vocabulary development.

We thank you for your ongoing support in our learning!

In-Class Field Trip; Volunteers Needed!

Dear families,

Next week we will be welcoming Teacher's Pet into our classes to start us off on our new science unit. We will be doing hands-on learning about a simple machine. Ms. Youngblood's class will be participating on Monday morning and Ms. Tang's class will be on Tuesday afternoon.

We will need a few parent volunteers to come in and help out with activities. Please email your child's teacher if you are available and have a current volunteer clearance.


Thanks for your continued support!

Curling Volunteers, Please Read!

Hi volunteers,

Thank you so much for sharing your time with us to help us with our physical education! We're looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday. Please note that you will need to bring with you a pair of shoes for inside the rink as they do not allow street shoes.

Grade 4 Math

Hi families!

We've gotten our check-ins back and today in class we went over how to use various strategies to solve each problem presented (on the front page). Please take a look and see how your child is doing. Be sure to ask them questions about what they do or do not understand.

After you have looked at this assessment with your child, please sign and return to school to verify that you have seen it.

Thanks!

Room 10 and 11 secret Santa

Dear families,

We'll be ringing in the holidays next week with Secret Santa! After earning 100 gotcha tickets, our classes have voted to do a gift exchange. Both rooms 10 and 11 will be doing these in their own spaces. Here's how it works:

1. Students will make/buy/find a small gift item (no more than $5).
2. Wrap the gift so no one knows what it is. Keep it a surprise!
3. Bring your gift on Monday, December 17.
4. Everyone that brings a gift will have their name put in a draw.
5. When your name is drawn, pick a gift!
6. Once everyone's name is drawn and gifts are all handed out, open it up!

Remember, Secret Santa is all about thinking of others and spreading joy. Everyone is able to participate. It doesn't matter what you get, what matters is having fun!

Hope you'll join us in celebrating our gotcha ticket goal! Any questions, email either Ms. Youngblood or Ms. Tang.
