December is upon us and we are moving along quite nicely in Grade Four. It was a pleasure to meet with all of the parents/guardians who attended interview night.
In the classroom, we have been very busy with our new TLCP unit on Making Connections. Students have had the opportunity to learn about text to world connections and self to text connections. They have also had the chance to learn about script writing and drama. This month students will be working towards putting together a short video based on their script. There will be a few surprises along the way!
We are in the heart of our measurement unit right now. We kicked off the unit with linear measurement and have now moved onto time and measuring capacity. Practice at home with an analog clock would be beneficial for students to grow in familiarity with using one.
I am really proud of our students because they were able to achieve over 10, 500 pages of reading for the month of November. This is a huge accomplishment and is very encouraging to see student's reading at home on a nightly basis.
We have a fantastic fundraiser at the school led by Parent Council with poinsettias. If interested, please send in a message about purchasing to help out the school!
That is all of the classroom news for now. I have included some links below for students to get some extra practice with their math skills at home.
