Good afternoon,

I hope everyone enjoyed the night! 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.

We finally heard the news we have been waiting for. The grade 4 class won the pizza party…WOOHOO!! Taran also won the grand prize of $50 for being the top sales person! Well done Taran!! Pizza party date to be announced!!!!

IMPORTANT DATES AND INFORMATION:

Field trip is on Friday. Students will need full uniform, appropriate warm gear, a school bag, and disposable lunch. We hope to leave by 9:45 and be back at the school before 3:30.

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!

MATH

Today we began working with division. This can be very difficult for students to grasp so any extra support at home would be greatly appreciated!! We worked with arrays to visually see how to divide. We also came to realize that multiplication is related division (30/5 = 6 and 5 x 6 = 30).

LANGUAGE

Today we had our lesson 11 spelling test and we read another chapter of our novel study and completed the corresponding activities. We also had a chance to practice our Christmas concert songs!

UOI

Today we read information card #20 and completed the activities as a class.

I look forward to seeing you all this evening!
