Quote of the Day:
Look who lost a tooth today!!
Library with Mrs. Hayward:
Today the gr. 4's spent some time, for the first time this year, in the library with Mrs. Hayward. They even got to sign outa a few books!
Inquiry into Math:
Today we took the time to review what we learned so far in our Number Patterns
unit. Tomorrow we will be moving on to lesson 4 where we learn take what we
know about number patterns to help us solve word problems.
Concepts:
Input/Output Machine: Terms are presented in a chart; input
numbers are on the right and out put numbers are on the left. To obtain an
output number we must apply an operation (addition, subtract, multiplication,
or division) to our input numbers.
Growing Patterns: A pattern where each term is greater
than the previous one.
Shrinking Patterns: A pattern where each term is less than the
previous one.
Alternating Patterns: A pattern where the operation
used or term alternates getting bigger and then smaller (or vice versa).
Pattern Rule: Describes how to make a pattern.
Operation: Something done to a number or quantity. Addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division are operations.
Inquiry into Language:
Today class reviewed how to write a letter.
After their review they chose a province and did a little research to
generate ideas for a letter that they will be addressing to a family member.
Our First Spelling test will be Friday, September 13th.

How do I know if I know my spelling words? Well, can you use
them in a sentence? Can you define the word to someone else? Do you know other
words that have the same meanings (synonyms)? Do you know words that mean the
opposite?
Unit of Inquiry:
We played a round of trivia to see what we know about the provinces,
territories, and capital cities of Canada.
In preparation for our Terry Fox Day celebration, we will be exploring
the life of Terry Fox (please send your child to school with a device).
We will be having a quiz on the provinces, territories, and capital
cities of Canada on Monday, September 16th.
