Good afternoon,

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend! Now that the cold weather is here, please ensure that your children come prepared…coats, hats, mitts, boots, and anything else that will keep them warm.

I still have not heard official word that we won the pizza party but I will let you know as soon as I find out!

IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION:

Science fair rough copies are due on Monday. We have our boards and we will begin our good copies on Monday, put our display boards together on Tuesday, and do presentations on Wednesday! Each student should be able to ask their question, tell about their hypothesis, describe their variable, and explain their results! Science fair is next Thursday, November 26. Parents are welcome to join us in the auditorium from 2:30-3:15 PM.

Another bake sale is next Tuesday and Wednesday. If you are interested in purchasing something please bring in your money then. It is not our turn to run the bake the sale, but donations are always welcome!!

Causal day is next Wednesday, November 25.

A Year Ahead Day will take place on Thursday, December 10. This is a chance for all grade 4’s to experience what life is like in grade 5. All grade 4’s will spend the day with Ms. Kominek who is this year’s grade 5 teacher. I will get to have all the grade 3’s and show that how we roll!! Please keep in mind that although Ms. Kominek is the grade 5 teacher this year, it does not mean she will be the grade 5 teacher next year. The same goes for me as well!

Please continue to check out the Parent Guilds blog for up coming events at sjaparentguild.blogspot.ca. With the money that was earned during the October movie night, parent guild was able to purchase 2 projectors! Thank you so much to the parent guild and all of those who came to watch the movie!!

MATH

Today we were able to have a quick lesson on using arrays to help us solve multiplication questions. An array is a picture! For example 2 x 3 = 6 you would have an array that looks like this:

* * *

* * *  = 6 (2 rows with 3 in each  = 6)

After that we began working on science fair!

LANGUAGE
