Homework

Homework was sent home yesterday, Tuesday May 28.  There is a time worksheet and reading comprehension about the invention of popcorn. I am encouraging students to practise telling time using analogue clocks at home.  The Grade 4 curriculum learning goal is that students are able to tell time to the minute. If you notice that your child has difficulty doing so, please practise with them at home if possible. Telling time and elapsed time can be tricky concepts to learn and the more practise they have in `real-life` situations the easier it can become. Please let me know if there are any questions. Thanks.

Homework

Math homework went home today, language will go home tomorrow. The students will have a brief math assessment on Friday, focusing on fractions (comparing, identifying and ordering fractions, basic equivalent fractions), decimals (tenths) and adding and subtracting money (amounts up to $100). They can use this weeks homework as well as previous homework to review. I encourage students to practise making change and 'buying' things at home to help reinforce the concept of subtracting money and breaking down bills into smaller amounts. The class is working towards completing their self-edited narrative writing. Portfolios will hopefully go home at some point next week.  If there are any questions please let me know. Thanks.

Open House

Just a reminder that our Open House is tomorrow morning. It starts at 9:30 am. Our class is showcasing their recent Data Management and Probability work in the hallway. Inside the classroom you can review your child's portfolio and ask them questions about their recent Pope writing. There will also be a video of some of our math inquiry learning playing on the Smartboard. At recess there are refreshments for parents and staff in the gym. After recess is the Volunteer Appreciation Assembly. We look forward to you joining us!
