Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful night!

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 tomorrow, Wednesday, September 28.

Our Terry Fox run will be happening on Thursday around 10:00 AM. Students may come dressed in their gym clothes that day!

Parent Guild is holding their meet and greet/general meeting on Friday, September 30 from 4:00-5:30 PM. The meeting will be held in the SJA Auditorium.

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 to learn how to write a report. We used our Writing 4 books to help us. This is in preparation for our OWA (Ontario Writing Assessment) post-assessment. Students are to bring in research tomorrow on the animal that they have chosen to write about in their Writing 4 books

UOI:

Today we began to look at Natural Resources. We watched a video and using that video we came up with a definition and some examples. We also looked at a video that showed some of Canada’s Natural Resources.

MATH:

Today we looked at rounding numbers to the nearest 1000, 100 and 10. The rule to remember for rounding is 1, 2, 3, 4 we round down to the ground (round down) and 5, 6, 7 8, 9 up we climb (round up). For example:

1)Round to the nearest 1000
2499 = 2000 & 2765 = 3000

2) Round to the nearest 100
99 = 100 & 521 = 500

3) Round to the nearest 10
33 = 30 & 39 = 40

Have a great night!
