Hi Parents

We are pleased to remind you that the next 2 weeks are short weeks and next weekend is a long weekend! Hopefully your family will enjoy a bit of respite and enjoy some outside time together. On Friday May 15th, there is a PD day and Monday May 18th is Victoria Day so there won’t be school meetings on those days. On both these weeks we will be adjusting the classwork to reflect a short week and we will be hosting our classroom meeting on Tuesday May 20th instead of the regular Monday meeting.

Science:
This week in science students will be learning about producers, consumers and decomposers. They need to watch a short video to learn the differences between these organisms, do a Google Draw sort activity and then have some time outside in order to find examples in their environment. They can take pictures, draw or simply write what they have seen. Please do this activity in whatever way is most comfortable with your family. That might be a walk on Nose Hill, time in your backyard or simply looking for pictures online if you are uncomfortable with getting outside at this time.

Literacy
This week students will be working on making inferences when reading. After watching an introductory video about inferencing they will complete a reading detective activity and record their answers.

Math:
This week in math, students have 2 math lessons and a quiz. The quiz will cover the work that students did last week as well as the lessons they will do this week. Please ask them to complete the work before attempting the quiz so they can show a true understanding of the work they have done.

Social Studies
This week the students are assigned a locked room. They will need to have explored the Social Studies Website created and shared with them last week, as it will contain all the information they need to solve the locked room.  They may need help to follow the clues given in order to open each lock. Teachers are available each day for support. Please direct them to join their teachers at the appropriate time if they need help.

We completed a circle of courage and shared the qualities we need most in a friend. -Thank you for all the effort you put in to help your child plan and build a self propelled car. We saw many great looking models today!  If your child forgot their car or hasn’t completed it please bring it in on Monday as we will be testing them then. Reminders: -Skating is next week! There are skates and helmets available at the skate shack at no charge. --Students require helmets to skate but cannot wear bike helmets!

Hello Grade 4 Parents Can you believe we are entering our 11th week of isolation? It’s crazy to think that students have been away from our building for that long. We certainly miss having their physical presence and look forward to seeing them again in our classrooms and hallways. We hope that you are all well and that you are finding some success with our ongoing learning program.  We would appreciate your feedback as we enter the last 5 weeks of school Please click on the following link  https://forms.gle/DkD7a2JA5seN1iup9 We know that it’s not always easy to stay on top of assignments so we are seeking your input to improve what we are doing.

Hi Parents You received an email last week regarding a food drive. If you would like to help, please drop food off on May 27th and 28th on the bus ramp at the school. Thank you for your continued support! If you have any questions regarding the work that students are assigned please let us know. SOCIAL STUDIES: We will be starting an Animal Research Project.  This project will be broken down into smaller parts, each part assigned progressively each week. Be sure to have your child watch the videos and guides, associated with each part of the project, as all questions are answered there! SCIENCE: We are continuing to focus on producers, consumers and decomposers. Students will need to watch some short videos about ecosystems and food chains. After viewing the videos they will need to write a reflection and create their own food chain. *Please remind your child to watch all the videos before completing the assignments.  MATH: This week’s math is mostly word problems. We know that word pr
