Quote of the Day - Bringing a little inspiration to your day! 

To celebrate Black History Month, each day there will be a picture and some information posted on our blog about an African-Canadian or African-American figure in history. Happy Black History Month!: 

Take a look at what we accomplished today!

Inquiry into Math:
As a class, we went through the steps to construct an angle:

For homework I have sent home the math workbook pg. 38 and 39 as well as an extra worksheet. We will check over their answers on Tuesday and we will keep practicing how to measure and construct angles. 

Hundredth Day of School Activity:
Today the grade 4s wrote their lesson 20 spelling test. Please review your child's test and have them correct any misspelled list words 10 times each.

To celebrate the hundredth day of school, the grade 4s completed a 100 piece puzzle for the 100th day of school!:

Valentine's Day Activities:

To celebrate Valentine's Day, the grade 4s exchanged Valentine's Day card, chocolates, and candies. We also played a couple of intense Valentine's Day themed bingo games. Who knew that grade 4s were so passionate about bingo. To continue the Valentine's Day festivities, I have sent home a Valentine's Day activity package.
