Grade 4A December
Grade 4A ~ December News
Dear Parents,
We enjoyed speaking with you last week in our phone conversations. It is always good to learn about our students from your perspective! We thought we would send you a quick update on dates and information so that you have it all in one place for the last two weeks of December.
Monday Dec. 7 - Please have your child bring a mason jar or glass jar to school
for a Christmas project
Tuesday Dec. 8 - Class Christmas Song being filmed at church
students to come in full uniform (not PE strip) looking their best, just bring runners for gym class
Wednesday Dec. 9 - School Dress Down Day - Christmas Colours
Cash donations accepted for Food Bank
Friday Dec. 11 - Student Self-Reflection sheet coming home
It is your child’s turn to fill out a formal document on their own learning, this document will be stapled into your child’s planner and will be copied for their file
Please note that this is your child’s words and reflections, spelling support will be given but not corrected in every way so that you get a sense of where your child is now on their own learning journey
Friday Dec. 18 - last day of school before holidays - dismissal 12:00
All students will be taking home ALL their belongings/texts as well as an emergency learning envelope which will provide one week’s worth of work in case the schools are asked to close. Please do not open these envelopes unless needed. This work will allow students to keep working while online learning needs are met for the start of online learning.
** Transitional students may pick up their emergency learning envelope on Dec. 17th during the day **
Update on Grade 4 learning:
We are switching now from Science focus to Socials Studies with the study of the Fur Trade
Math - we are continuing to develop our speed with multiplication facts and working on multiplying 2 digit by 1 digit with and without regrouping
Christian Ed. - ongoing learning of both Advent and our faith journey
Writing - students are learning the writing process while writing a Christmas story
Reading - individual novel studies are continuing with chapter summaries
We hope this quick update keeps you informed and connected. Please continue to check your child’s planner daily as we are working on their personal responsibility with communicating to you as well.
Thank you all for your ongoing support for both of us as we work with your delightful children. We have enjoyed getting to know them all and we wish all of you a Blessed Christmas holiday. Please stay safe and healthy and we pray that we will see all of you the first week back in January.
God Bless,
Mrs. Miriam Campagne and Mrs. Rachelle Eggertson
