Dear Parents and Students,
It
seems that autumn has finally arrived, and we can enjoy some cooler weather. It
has been a busy week in Grade 4, as we have had a number of tests and
assessments throughout the week.
In Maths,
we have completed Topic 4, and in addition to the topic test, we have also
completed our first round of cumulative and benchmark tests. Next week, we will
return to our regular lessons, beginning with Topic 5 and multiplication.
In our Literacy
Workshop we have spent most of our
time working in our Personal Narrative stories. We have pushed our publishing
date back a little, and we now plan to be ready to present our stories next
Tuesday. In grammar, we are continuing with nouns, and our current spelling
list is review of the previous lists.
We have completed
our studies Earth Science, and
our unit test is scheduled for next Friday. We will spend some time next week
reviewing the unit. Our next unit – Physical Science – will begin the following
week.
We had a chapter test in Social Studies,
which brings our study of geography and climate to a close for the time being.
We have moved our attention to citizenship, and everyone is excited about our
upcoming minor presentation assignment about patriotism. More information about the assignment will be sent home
next week.
We finished the
week with an extra Performing Arts lesson to make up for the one we missed last
Friday, due to the field trip. Everyone is working hard with Mrs. Johnson, and
it looks like we will be enjoying a very impressive Halloween performance on
the 31st October!
