Our class has created healthy lunch and snack recipes, using Canada’s food guide. From Monday, December 19 to Thursday, December 22, students will bring in samples of their food to share with the class. Six or seven students will be assigned each day next week. Sharing will occur during the first period in the morning. Thank you in advance for your assistance in completing this important activity.
On Friday November 25, the Parent Council is having a Busker’s sub day. You can order a 7 inch sub for $4.00 or a sub and chips for $5.00. The deadline for orders is Tuesday, November 22.
As part of our Health studies, we will be examining healthy food choices. As part of these activities, we are all keeping a food journal for 5 days. Beginning on Nov. 15, students will record everything they eat and drink during their day. Their journals will then be used for class activities.
We’ve begun a new unit in math. During our geometry studies we’ll be looking at:
Grade 4
Construct congruent figures; measure angles; sort and classify figures; identify similar figures; explore solids; build skeletons.
Grade 5
Sort and name polygons by sides and angles; measure, name and construct angles; construct triangles, given side and angle measurement; identify and construct nets of solids.
November 11, Remembrance Day, our class will be presenting a choral reading of “In Flanders Fields” during the remembrance assembly. We ask that your child wear a white shirt and black or dark coloured pants. If your child is involved in Scouting, Girl Guides or Cadets, they may wear their uniform.
It became obvious very quickly that our improvised, agenda notebooks were not working well. So, we’ve made a change.
Look for a reddish orange, plastic folder. A very nice bright colour and one that really “stands out in a crowd”. Inside are the agenda pages. There is space for homework, upcoming events and notes between home and school. You should see this folder every single day whether your child has homework or not. Please initial the agenda. I will do the same every day.
Remember, you should see this folder every day whether there is homework or not. Your initials tell me that you have seen it, as mine tell you I have seen it.
We’re having a math test on Monday October 31.
Things covered are:
- read and recognize numbers to 9999 (grade 4)
- read recognize numbers to 999999 (grade 5)
- read and write numbers in standard form, expanded form and written form
- place value
- comparing and ordering numbers (>, <, =)
- add 4 digit numbers, subtract 3 digit numbers from 4 digit numbers (grade 4)
- add four digit numbers, subtract 4 digit numbers from 4 digit numbers (grade 5)
- solve problems using whole numbers
Get ready. Get set. Go! It’s black and orange day on Monday. Wear your black and orange colours and share your school spirit with everyone. Also, bring your loonies and toonies. The Grade 8s are having a bake sale. There will be lots of delicious treats available for you to purchase.
We remain focused on developing mastery of the multiplication tables. Grade 4 students should be learning 1 – 10 times tables and Grade 5 students should be learning 1-12 times tables. We practice every day with a 10 minute warm up. It would be extremely beneficial for students to practice for another 5 or 10 minutes every day, at home.
