Week 13

Dear Parents and Students,
The weather has finally begun to cool, but it hasn’t deterred Grade 4C from working hard in the classroom. We also enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday. A link to photos of the day can be found at the end of this post.
This week in Maths, we completed Topic 7, which had us multiplying multi-digit numbers. We had the Topic Test on Thursday, and we have already begun Topic 8, which is dedicated to division.
In our Literacy Workshop, we read Tanya's Reunion, and discussed the story in our Reading Circles. The conversations taking place have been very impressive, with each group learning to delve more deeply into the story and its themes.
In Science, we have just completed our studies of energy and its various forms. Next week, we will begin our investigations in force and motion. We have already taken a peek at what the next chapter will be about, and so we will be ready to go on Monday.
In Social Studies, we have started our studies of the American Northeast. We will continue our investigations next week.
Yesterday, you should have received a notice regarding our annul Christmas Concert, which this year will take place at the Science Park Auditorium. Please be reminded that next Friday, 1st December, classes will be dismissed at 2:00pm instead of 3:10 pm. Taxis and buses will be departing at this time, while parents who usually pick up your children are asked to pick up your children at 2:15pm. Further details are included in the notice. Please contact me if you did not receive yours.
Also next week, our Fun Day will take place next Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Burt and the Grade 6 students have been working hard to provide an afternoon of creative and fun-filled activities for us all to enjoy. Parents are welcome to join us. The activities begin straight after lunch on the athletics track behind the school.
As always, other important upcoming dates are listed below. I hope you all enjoy a restful weekend, and I’ll see you all next Monday.
