Wednesday, September 11th, 2019

On Monday, our school will be participating in a Terry Fox walk. Today we spent time discussing who Terry was, and why he ran. Until Monday, students are encouraged to bring donations for cancer research. Our goal is to raise 1 dollar for each student at our school, just as Terry hoped to raise 1 dollar for every Canadian. Please bring any donations by Monday.

ELA - Today we introduced our Daily 5 program. We will start every typical school day with Daily 5, from 9-9:45. Today we practiced the expectations for "Read to Self", and "Read to Someone". 

Spelling - Today we had more time to practice our Week 1 word lists.

Math - Today we completed our review of Grade 4 math by exploring Patterns and Equations. Please complete your entire review for tomorrow.

Social - Today we had more time to work on our Map of Canada task. This task will be due on Monday.

Arts - We had more time to finish up creating our Art Portfolios, that will house our art projects throughout the year.
