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.

Thanks for your cooperation!

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!

-Ms. Tang

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.

Pajama Day - December 20

Thursday December 20th is our December Spirit Day. Get into the spirit of relaxing on the upcoming holidays by wearing your pajamas to school. For safety reasons students must still wear their indoor shoes. Please no slippers or pajamas with feet that cannot fit into your child’s indoor shoes.

Museum Project

Dear families,

Room 10 and 11 have some brand new museum curators! We will be researching about an immigrant group that came to Alberta in the late 1800s and choosing an artifact from that group to display. We listened to a real museum curator who's worked in museums all over Canada and she gave us some tips on what to do:

1. Do as much research as you can on the immigrant group.

2. Do as much research as you can on the artifact.

3. Think about what the artifact tells us about the group. (This is why you needed to do step 1. first.)

4. Choose an artifact that looks interesting or has a cool story.

Here's what we'll be working on this week.

Curators are expected to complete this project by Monday, December 17 so feel free to help your child with the research process as needed.

Grade 4 Math: Part-Part-Whole Machine!

Dear families,

We have a new tool to add to our math toolbox! Using the fancy-dancy patent-pending Part-Part-Whole machine, you can find the unknown value in any addition OR subtraction question. Ask your child how to use this fabulous tool.
