Hi,
Come and take a look at all the happenings in our classroom.
In Math, the class has been working diligently to recognize the value of Canadian coins and bills and practising how to count it up to a $10 value.


 In the photo above, you can see a demonstration of 2 different ways students are counting money. One is to group the money amounts into common numbers that are easier to mentally count. The other is to keep a mental running total of the money being asked to count by crossing off which ones have already been counted. Ask your child which is the method they prefer to count money then practice it with them.
In the photo above you can see examples of how we continued to practice counting money. Some enjoyed one way over another.

In the photo above you can see how students are expected to take the knowledge they have of money and apply it to another part of the question to challenge their problem solving skills.

In Science, the class was exposed to four common types of forces. The weather interfered with our experiments this past week but I hope to be able to reinforce these concepts with more experiments this upcoming week. Ask your child what we were supposed to do outside last week in Science and what was the purpose of it.



We have taken a giant leap into music. Listen to our budding musicians and see if you can recognize the song. Ask your child what family of instruments our boomwhackers fit into and more importantly, why?

A few things to remember.....
 2nd term pizza orders can be ordered on-line. last day to order is Thursday February 21st, 2019

Please look for this in your child's agenda on monday February 4th. This is a document explaining the different pathways your child could possibly take next year in Grade 4.
