Dear Grade Four
Parents,
To support
students in learning to read and spell various high frequency words, the
following Choice Board was created. In
school we will be learning and using these activities as well. Each night, have your child select one way to
practice the weekly high frequency words.
Updated Choice

child. The Choice Board should stay at
home and does not need to be returned to school. Evidence of written work does not need to
come to school.
Have fun!

Classroom Happenings
It has been a little while since I have written an update on
all the amazing learning we have been engaged in in room nine. My apologies! The entire staff have been working hard on improving the education for all at our school. As usual it has
been very busy and the students are growing into wonderful learners and engaged
students.
Health
Our classroom meeting is a favourite time to share and
connect with each other. Each week we have a sharing circle and learn a little
more about each other. It’s nice to take time to connect and reflect on our
lives. We have also been continuing to learn about Growth Mindset and
Mindfulness. This month’s Fifth Pillar is respect. We have been improving in
our ability to travel through the hallways respectfully and I have seen growth
in our ability to listen and follow a lesson or instruction in a respectful way
as well.
L.A.
During the last couple of weeks, we have been learning about
grammar. Our class has learned about the difference between nouns, verbs, and
adjectives. Writing in a complete sentence that use a subject and predicate
(nouns and verbs) are an expectation for grade four writers. Most young writers
only know that a sentence needs a capital to begin and punctuation to end. We
have been working to use adjectives to describe why we like fall through using
story strips to increase the amount we write.
We have fully launch our literacy centers (Daily 5). Much independence
is required to complete the tasks that are required. Students are involved in word work, work on
writing, read to self, read to someone, listening to reading and guided reading
lessons (with me) to improve our reading ability. The students are growing in
their responsibility and ability to be self-motivated learners. Ask your little
learner if they are completing all the required work. Grade Four’s expectations
are a much high level that some are used to.
Math
A base line assessment of Math knowledge was sent home. Please look for it in your child’s bag if
they have not passed it on to you. We are working hard to develop our Number
Sense as this was identified as an area that is needed to be developed
further. Reading and writing numbers has
proven to be difficult for many. It is an area that we will be working on all
year! We have been working on ordering numbers based on place value and using less
than, equal and greater than symbols. Math vocabulary understanding is also an
area of growth for all.
Science
We have been waiting with great anticipation for our Red
Wiggler Composting Worms. I am happy to announce that I have them and they will
be making their debut on Monday. We have been learning about caring for them
and will have two students a week looking after our wiggly classroom pets. To other students will be in charge of
feeding them daily. The difference between human created waste and natural
waste has been covered. Producers, consumers, and decomposers has been fun to
learn about.
Social
This week we have begun our Map making project. Learning
about the elements that all maps include was the introductory piece. We will be
walking to Nose Hill Park next week. Reading a map, using a compass and
understanding the cardinal directions and a compass rose is an exciting task.
We are still looking for volunteers to join us on our trip. If you can help out
please contact me A.S.A.P.
Art
We have been building perseverance working on two art
projects that have spanned over the last three weeks. Keep an eye on our blog
for photos of these awesome projects! We need lids of all shapes and sizes to
complete one of the projects. Please send in as many as you can in different
sizes and colours.
Thanks for all your support!
