A few important reminders/important dates

We are running low on Lysol/Clorox wipes. If we could get some in that would be greatly appreciated. We are completely out of Kleenex and lots of our friends have colds. If we could get some in it would be fantastic!

Oral Presentations Thursday February 26^th. In class oral presentations Friday February 20^th!

DRA and OWA testing for term 2 has started and will continue next week.

MATH

Today the Grade 4’s learned about drawing Pictographs. These are graphs that use pictures as symbols to represent numbers. The Grade 3’s looked at interpreting data from Circle graphs.

LANGUAGE

Today was our trial run of speeches and poems. It went well. We have lots of friends who need to work on memorization!! We have many fantastic hooks, introductions, and conclusions!

Parents please help your children in anyway possible. I am looking for hook (something to grab the audiences attention), an introduction telling us their topic, paragraphs talking about different things about their topic (for example if they are talking about hockey some paragraphs they may want to talk about are rules, equipment, different leagues, etc). I then would like a closing statement tying everything in.

The spelling test will take place Thursday this week due to the holiday on Friday.

U.O.I.

Today we began our dictionary for Medieval Times and did some activity sheets!

Have a wonderful night!!

Mrs. Hocevar :)
