Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

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

Just a friendly reminder that fall/winter uniforms begin on Tuesday, October 11th. This means that grade 4’s must wear their blazers and ties everyday, along with their long sleeved button-up shirt. House ties are also mandatory on Fridays.

The deadline for after school activity forms and money has been extended until Wednesday, September 28 at 4:00 PM.

Important information and reminders:

Blossom Yoga (www.BlossomYogaKids.com) with Ummul Patrawala is back at SJA, as part of our after school activities. First session starts on Wednesday Oct 5th.  Come ready to have fun, move, stretch, and relax while exploring fun yoga games, creative breathing exercises, yoga art and yoga songs. Here is a short video highlighting the fun and relaxing yoga classes that SJA kids have experienced in the past with Mrs. Patrawala. Stay Calm and Breathe On!

Terry Fox pledge forms have been sent home. Every little bit helps. All forms and money are due back by Thursday, September 29. We have only raised $500 of our $4000 goal so lets go grade 4. Remember that every little bit counts!

LANGUAGE:

Today we began our lesson 3 spelling activities. We also read chapter 6 of Anne of Green Gables and completed comprehension questions.

UOI:

Today we had our presentations on the regions of Canada. Everyone did a great job! Our introductory math lesson also had to do with Canada. We had to figure out the distance that someone drove using cities in Newfoundland!

MATH:

Today we begin our second unit on whole numbers. We realized there is 5 different ways we can write out numbers.

1) Standard form - 246

2) Written form – 246 = two hundred and forty-six

3) Expanded form – 246 = 200 + 40 + 6

4) Using place value chart – 246

HUNDRED	TENS	ONES
2	4	6

5) Using base ten blocks to model – 246 = 2 hundreds block (squares), 4 tens blocks (long rectangles), and 6 ones blocks (small cubes)

Have a great night!

Mrs. Hocevar :)
