MATH
Today we learned about repeating patterns. We created and extended patterns. We used 3-D shapes to help us! Ms. Murphy, a teacher trainee, was with us for math and had the luxury of teaching the grade 4's. Thank you for being on your best behaviour and working very hard!

LANGUAGE
Today we had reading buddies and we continued writing our magazine article!

UOI
Today we continued to review magazine articles. Students also began writing their own magazine article. This is in preparation for our final OWA! Students have to write a magazine article on the perfect classroom.

Have a great night!

Mrs. Hocevar J
