November-17: Social Studies

Hi, this week in Social Studies we will be continuing our 'Alberta Regions' Video Conferencing project and focusing on our own region, the Grasslands. We will be practicing our presentation, as over the next couple of weeks, the grade 4 class will be presenting their region to both the Parland Region and Boreal Forest Region, via video conferencing (Nov.26 & Dec.2). The students viewed a presentation already from the Parkland Region and really enjoyed it.
I will be grading the students on their ability to work in groups, their output whether it be by a poster or skit, and presentation skills. On this report I graded the students on their ability to shown their knowledge in writing from this project (poster, explanation) and on next report card you will see your child's grading from their presentation and group effort. Thanks!

November-17: L.A.

Hi parents, after talking to a few of you on the phone I wanted to post a general statement of homework and tests that occur weekly in Language Arts. Your child should be bringing home a weekly spelling list at the beginning of the week, which concludes with a spelling test EVERY Friday. Also, there is a spelling booklet of the weekly words that we work on each week and if it is not done during class time and handed in that week, it is ALWAYS due the next school day (Monday, but this doesn't always happen due to days off, so sometimes it is Tuesday or Wednesday). Agendas should be also filled in with this information but that does not always happen, so hopefully this will help!
Reminder, 'Report Cards' come out on Friday and parent teacher interviews will take place next Wednesday and Thursday, Nov.26-27. I hope to see you there and discuss any issues and positive ones as well! Thanks!

Science

Have a fun weekend!

We will be working on this for the next week or so, as then the grade 4 class will be presenting their own region to two schools located in the Parkland Region and the Boreal Forest Region at the end of this month.

We are making "pop can" dragsters on Tuesday and the students need to bring an empty pop can to school to be used as the body of the dragster. If you have extra pop cans it would be appreciated if you could send them with your child as well, there is bound to be students who forget. Thank you!
