Notes

We are nearing the end of our home learning journey, and I have really enjoyed the pictures and videos you have sent me.  Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.  This week, we saw that the baby birds in the nest that Carter found have left.  I wonder where they have gone, and what the next part of their journey will be.  Cohen and Chase created a puppet theatre for their younger brothers, and provided entertainment and creativity for their family.  Keep up the great work boys and girls.

Grade 4, thank you to those who have sent in pictures and videos!  I love seeing what you have been doing at home.  Please continue to send them to me, and I will post them!  Some pictures I have posted this week are of Jerome riding his bike, and the ArtHub for Kids picture that Jerome created.  I have also posted a picture of the newly hatched baby birds at Carter’s home.  He sent us pictures of the eggs a few weeks ago, it’s so exciting to see that they have hatched!  Have a great week everyone!

We have made it to week 7 of Home Learning!  I have noticed some of you have logged into the websites provided, well done!  Hopefully if you haven’t had a chance to log on to Raz Kids or IKnowIt lately or at all, you will this week.  Try to make it a personal goal to log on to the websites if you are able to!  I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend and were able to enjoy the beautiful weather.  Gracie and I have been taking Mollie to the Cove to walk for a change instead of around our neighbourhood.  If you can go it’s a great spot to explore all kinds of habitats and to get a nice 2km walk.  Have a great week, boys and girls!

Read the message below from Mrs. Richardson about an exciting contest!! (please note, she has referred to me as "magestic"...wouldn't you agree!)

 

 

 

CONTEST TIME BOYS AND GIRLS!!

 

We would like to see how creative you can be! We would like to see you draw a picture, with a slogan, for our Group Photo for our Facebook Page. We will choose a new one each week. Each entry will be due by Friday night!! The lovely Mrs. Keenan, the majestic Mrs. Hosford and I, the delightful Mme Richardson, will be your judges!

 

Here are the criteria:

 

1.    This week's theme is King Street Elementary.

 

2.    Make it creative and colourful.

 

3.    Come up with a slogan (examples to follow).

 

4.    It has to be drawn and coloured by hand.

 

5.    Fold your paper in half and only draw on half of it (it will fit better on the page).

 

A Slogan is a sentence that will draw attention to your product (in this case, your picture). You see slogans everyday! MacDonald's --"I'm lovin' it!" M&M: Melts in your mouth, not in your hands!" Nike: "Just do it!" Bounty: "The quicker picker upper!"

Good Morning Grade 4!  I hope everyone had a great weekend and treated the special women in your lives well for Mother’s Day!  I had a few acrostic poems sent to me that I will be posting in the gallery. I was also so happy I was able to see a few of you at KSE on pick-up day, I miss you all so much.  I see many of you have been putting in lots of time on the websites for Reading and Math.  This is wonderful, I’m proud of you all for this.  This week you will learn about comparing and ordering and fractions and will be using the Brainpop websites to learn about Food Webs and Food Chains.  Have a wonderful week, and be sure to get lots of fresh air…it looks like it will be a lovely week for weather.

Hello Grade 4!  I hope everyone has been enjoying the nice weather and getting outside to play and move.  My dog Mollie has loved all the walks we have been able to take!  Gracie and I have been playing outside and practicing some running to see how far we can go.  I have posted this week’s home learning options.  Have a peek and give them a try!  Send me a picture of the acrostic poem you make for Mother’s Day and I will your work on my page.  Have a great week!

Welcome back for another week of home learning!  I hope everyone had a great week. We are now on the last few days of April and May is just around the corner!  A few families sent in acts of kindness from last week, way to go!  Robert helped his family with chores and Carter delivered food to a community pantry...and he would like to challenge others to do the same.  My act of kindness was to walk around my neighbourhood with a garbage bag to pick up trash.  

Have a great week Grade 4!

Hello Grade 4!  I hope everyone had a great week.  The sun was shining and the snow has melted a lot!  I hope you are able to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.  I have been taking Mollie for a walk almost every day, and she is officially now back to searching for squirrels, boy do they bother her!  I have posted the new learning options for the week.  As usual, some of options require access to technology, and others do not, especially the last…an act of kindness!  I hope you can all try the last one, I’m going to as well.  Feel free to tell me what you have done as an act of kindness in an email or send a picture!  I will post them next week!

Have a great week.  Get some fresh air, stay active, and most importantly be safe!

Hello again Grade 4!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend!  I sure did.  Even though it stormed on Friday we still played outside, and took Mollie for a walk on the rest of the weekend.  The Easter bunny left some treats at our house and we all enjoyed a little bit of chocolate!  I have updated the activities for this week and given new reading assignments on the Raz Kids website.  This week you can create your own Brainpop account to work on the assigned activity.  Be sure to click on the attached document to see the full list of activities.  Have a great week, everyone!
