Weekend of April 24-25
Congratulations to Cam for placing 2nd of all Grade 4's in the 2010 Alouette Public Speaking Competition! Congratulations, too, to Nolan and Avri for making it to the finals! Excellent work by all.
Math - pp.175-177 #1-11, Reflect was due this past THURSDAY, Apr. 22
Poetry - rough draft of Life of A Colour was due WEDNESDAY, Apr. 21
Art - pastel needs finished for Tuesday. I initially asked if students could bring a small, slot-head screwdriver to do our Scratch Art. I have changed the plan and will use nails instead. All screwdrivers can stay or go home. :-) Thanks!
In Math, we will be learning about Fractions over the next few weeks.
In Writing...poetry.
Social Studies...Explorers
Spelling...variety of words from curricular areas as well as certain, reliable patterns.
Art...a variety of projects.

Good luck on Thursday!
