All About Me

My name is Nicole Samuel and I am one of the Grade 4 teachers for this upcoming school year. I have been a teacher at SJA since January 2018 and this will be my third-year teaching Grade 4.

I am a graduate of Central Michigan University Elementary Education Program and an Alum of the CMU Women’s Soccer Team.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy being physically active (soccer is my favourite sport, go Manchester United!), watching movies, working on "do it yourself" crafts, and spending time with my family. I can hardly wait to get to know all of you!

Take a look at what we accomplished today!

Music - Christmas Concert Rehearsal with Mr. Oliver:
Mr. Oliver continued to help us work out our lines and dance moves for the upcoming Christmas Concert:



Inquiry into Math:
Today we worked on finding the perimeter and area of a rectangle. We talked about some formulae that can help us to solve the perimeter of a rectangle: P = s + s + s + s or P = (2 x s) + (2 x w). You can also use this formula to find the perimeter of a square: P = 4 x s

Here are some examples:


Calculating the are of a rectangle can be pretty simple. All you have to do is multiply the length by the width and you will get the measurement inside your rectangle in square units. A = l x w

Here's an example:



Inquiry into Language:
Today we wrote our lesson 11 spelling tests. Please look over your child's test and have them correct any misspelled words 10 times each.

We also continued practicing for the upcoming Christmas Concert:







Unit of Inquiry:

Our kaleidoscopes did not work with the sequins, but we did get them to work. We discovered that we didn't need sequins at all, we could just use the three mirrors inside of our kaleidoscope and we still got the same result! All you have to do is get close to a colourful object and rotate the kaleidoscope in your hand. Your object will bounce off the mirrors inside to create a cool illusion. Try out your child's kaleidoscope tonight!








Task: See if you can look up some information to help make our kaleidoscopes better.
