| Science Experiment |
It was a spooktacular week in Grade Four. The class took part in various seasonal activities, a science experiment and completed assessment items. It was a busy and productive week.
Our Student-Parent-Teacher Conferences (3-Way Conferences) will be taking place on November 24th. These conferences are in-person and will be taking place in our classroom. Students will not attend regular classes on this day but will only come to school for their 15-minute conference with their parent(s). As in previous years, parents are asked to sign up for a conference using "Conference Manager." Conference Manager will open to parents on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, at 7:00 AM. *More information will follow on Edbsy.
Weekly Highlights:
Students~
- worked on estimating sums and mental math strategies to determine sums in math.
- organized their writing ideas and created a rough draft of their favourite pet paragraphs during Writer's Workshop.
- wrapped up learning about various geographical features of the four geographical ecozones of Saskatchewan.
- transformed a pumpkin into a jack-o'lantern by building a special story in language arts.
- responded to a fictional story to demonstrate their reading comprehension and completed a spelling assessment.
- went "Book Shopping" at the school library and developed their reading stamina during 'read-to-self' activities. Students are currently at 10 minutes of uninterrupted independent reading! This will steadily increase. In the coming days, we will discuss the selection of 'good-fit' books.
- learned more about the process of photosynthesis and how leaves "breathe" by conducting an experiment in science.
- learned more about how healthy snacks can give our bodies and brains the fuel and energy we need to continue our day until mealtime.
- enjoyed drumming to the beat of "Thriller" with Mrs. Nadoroznik in Music!
