IMPORTANT:  Our Schedule will be changing slightly next week, with our lunch eating time moving to 12:20, and our outside play time moving to 12:40.  We hope this change will solve a few issues, such as avoiding congestion and wait times for students trying to get outside to play, extending their play time to 30 minutes, and allowing for larger blocks of time in the morning to complete literacy tasks.  Because the mornings will be longer, morning recess times will be extended on days we do not have Phys Ed.

***We are switching to a 'soft entry' on Monday morning, which means that students will be able to enter the school upon their arrival, and go straight to their classrooms.  A variety of activities, such as reading, drawing, coloring and independent math and word games will be available.  Students will be expected to wear their masks, stay at their assigned table spot, and be ready for learning at the bell.  It would be a great ideas to send an extra small snack, such as a granola bar, cheese string or piece of fruit with your child so that they are able to grab a quick bite to eat before our longer mornings begin.

Today in Art, we finished the background page for our About Me poem using watercolors. - AG

In math, we practiced showing numbers in different ways.  Standard Form, Expanded Form, Written Form, Chart Form and Base Ten Blocks. - RC

Secret Question:  Can your child show the number 7,462 in ALL of the above forms?

We had Music today.  In Music, we did a game called Seven.  This is when you make seven beats of something. - PK

In writing, we wrote about Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, about a time when we felt like something and another time when we felt like nothing. - JV

We finished coloring and blending our Alberta pages. - MB. 

As you can see, they turned out beautifully!

What a fantastic start to grade 4!  Students were exceptional listeners, followed directions well and were very understanding of any changes related to the current circumstances.  We all went home safe and happy! Here are a few reminders of routines for the remainder of the week: 1) I will meet students each morning (Thursday and Friday) at our spot on the hill by the base ball diamond, and walk them up to the same spot at the end of the day.  If you have arranged an alternative meeting spot, students may leave the class to go to their designated spot AFTER we have left the compound.  Any students going to First Class will be met by a staff member upon exiting the building. 2) Backpacks will be placed on the back of each student's chair and OUTDOOR will be kept under their table spot.  At the end of each day, INDOOR SHOES will be placed on their chairs.  We will have a different plan in place once the cold/wet weather hits. 3) Students are asked to please leave all personal school

 IMPORTANT:  Thank you to everyone who has handed in their school forms.  If you have not handed in yours yet, please turn them in to the teacher as soon as possible. ***We have had a few incidents of students being hurt outside during recess and lunch recess as a result of rough play.  Please remind your children that they are not to be making any physical contact with other students while on school property.  As a class, we discussed this as well, and talked about things we can do, such as being aware of our surroundings, keeping our hands to ourselves, and using equipment - especially on the playground - appropriately to help keep everyone safe during times of play. The students have been doing amazing work in their visual journals.  Today, we organized our symbols and emblems of Alberta page and learned how to do different kinds of lettering for out title.  We also began a background page for our About Me poems, using watercolor paints. In math, we are continuing with place value a

 IMPORTANT:  If you have not already done so, please log onto My CBE Powerschool online booking system to book a conference time.  We will have a short dry run on Tuesday afternoon to make sure our virtual communication systems are working.  During this time, I will also have a short video to present, which will include things like our classroom environment, a few of our finished projects, as well as some of our work in progress.  I look forward to seeing you then! The kids had another fun-filled day of learning.  The highlight was using computers for the first time.  All students were very patient, waiting for help if they required it to log in, and ALL students were able to successfully get logged onto the computer, as well as into their Raz-Kids account.  For Monday, everyone will have their own computer card with all of their login information for each of the accounts we will bw using throughout the year.  Next time we have the computers, students will get to explore Google Drive,
