Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful night!

Please remember to sign your child’s agenda every night.

Please take the time to label all of your child’s/children’s uniform pieces. We are having a competition to see which class has the most pieces of uniform labeled. The winner will receive a pizza party!! Let’s go grade 4!!

We have had our first recess and lunch extended to 1 hour…30 minutes for recess and 30 for lunch. Our second recess and lunch will remain 40 minutes.

***The uniform store will be closed from September 28 until October 14, 2016. All orders must be placed by tomorrow, Friday, September 23, via email. Alpa can be reached at alpa@multiformcanada.com. This is especially important for the grade 4’s as we swing into winter uniforms before the uniform store is open again.***

After school activity forms were sent home today. All forms and money are due tomorrow, Friday, September 23.

LANGUAGE:

Today we read chapter 5 of Anne of Green Gables and completed some types of sentences (telling: tells us something, asking: asks a question, and exclamatory: sentence which shows excitement and/or strong emotion).   

UOI:

I am very pleased to say that everyone did very well on the map of Canada quiz. Great job grade 4’s. Please review the quiz, sign, and return to me. On the down side, many students forgot to use capitals when writing the provinces, territories, capital cities, and Great Lakes. I hope next time, students remember the rules of MINTS. Today we continued to look at the different regions of Canada. We watched a couple of videos. Tomorrow we will break off into groups and complete a chart that outlines what we learned about each region. Presentations will take place on Monday.

MATH:

Today was our first unit math test. I will mark as soon as I can and then send them home for you to review.

Have a great night!
