Hello Families,

Another week has come and gone, and we are keeping as busy as ever in our classroom.

We are continuing to write about the Indigenous Peoples of Canada through stories and making connections.

We are reading a variety of items from textbooks, non-fiction reference books and fiction books that range from picture books to chapter books.  We will be starting our home reading program next week and have been given a large cart of books to share with Rooms 15 and 13.  We are excited to take books home to read on a regular basis. 

Parents, it is important to read with your children or have your children read to you on a daily basis.  Also, it helps for you to ask questions about what they are reading to help with understanding.

We are learning double digit multiplication and beginning to learn about long division in math.  Xtra math will assist in learning the multiplication facts quicker.

In social we will be putting together a 3D map of both Canada and Alberta.  We are looking for recyclable materials from home if you have any to help with this project over the next 4 weeks.

In science we are using Lego to build vehicles and devices that have a variety of moving parts.

The grade 4 students have recently had a fabulous time at the Grey Cup Party at Stampede Park.

Have a great week and we look forward to the learning ahead.

Mrs. Mahon
