Madison and Jada's Reports December 7 - 18

Madison's News:

Hello,

This will be a short post because we have been busy with all kinds of extra events due to the season. We have a short curricular post for you:

Science - We are wrapping up our Light and Shadows Unit. Make sure you study for the test on Thursday.  Please remember the marking scheme will be: I - independent, N - needs a little support and B - beginning to demonstrate knowledge of the concepts.

Social - There is no more Current Events until after Christmas

Math - We are continuing to work on Multiplication using arrays and mental math.

LA - We are still working with Mrs. Fleming on writing.  When you are writing a story, "show it don't tell what it is" is what we are learning.

Extra news:
We enjoyed the play ANNIE.  The performers were excellent!
Our Christmas Concert went off without a hitch - nice job by all involved.

Have a happy holiday! Hopefully you get a new book over the break that you can use for our challenge!

Jada's News:

Math - We tried to make it to the end of the multiplication unit, but we did not quite make it...we will have to remember so much over the break!

Social - We will start a new unit in social after the break.  We have discussed the importance of alternate fuel sources, fossil fuels and our 3 main industries in Alberta.

Science - We completed our Light and Shadows unit with a test on Thursday!  We will be starting our Wheels and Levers unit in January.

LA - We finished working with Mrs. Fleming on our writing.  We will be focussing on reading strategies in January and February.

Extra news:

SKATING:  We will be skating on January 11 at 1:00 - 1:45; Tuesday and Wednesday 11:10 - 11:50;  and on Thursday at 8:35 - 9:25.  There is no skating on Friday.  WE NEED 2 SKATING ADULTS TO JOIN US as well as skate tiers and general help.  If we do not have 3 skating adults (I plan to skate also), we are not allowed on the ice.

SKIING - Grade 4s are going skiing on February 22 and March 7.  This is just a heads up as more details will be forthcoming closer to the dates.

Have a great holiday!  See you on the 4th of January!

We had an awesome presentation from the Lord Strathcona's Mounted Regiment.  I actually took a few pictures, and will be sharing them with you (In random order -ask your student to order them).  The first part of the presentation was a classroom section where a member of the Regiment came into our classroom and spoke to the students.  He then answered questions the students asked.  After that, we went outside to see the trailer the horses travel in while on the road as well as ask a few more questions of the Members at that location.  We ended by watching the Musical Ride.  What an experience!  Please ask your child about his or her thoughts as you are winding down tonight.
