November 8 - Academic Update

 Hello! It has been a while since I wrote an academic update, and so I thought I would use some of our brainstorming from today's KidBlog posts to support what we have been learning about.
For those who have forgotten, KidBlog is a writing forum which we use every day Monday through Thursday to help us achieve writing outcomes.  On Thursday, we write about 3 things we have learned during the week, 2 things that we liked about the week, and 1 question we have going forward.  Before the students write, we brainstorm to help us remember all we have done during the week. The photos demonstrate some of our brainstorming for this week.  Ask your child to help you make sense of the photos!

Last week, we worked with our grade 1 friends to create some art for the front foyer frames. The following pictures show a glimpse at the fun we had.





Please join us Friday morning at 10:45 for our Remembrance Day ceremony.  We will be presenting "IN FLANDERS FIELD" as a grade 4 chorus as part of the ceremony. There will not be a regular weekly assembly on Friday, which means there will not be a student of the week this week.

Please remember that there is no school on Monday, November 12. The school is closed.  

Our Christmas concert is on December 3, with a dress rehearsal at 1:10 and the evening performance at 6:30. We encourage all class members to be in attendance for both performances.

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.
