Students are asked to bring a container of PLAY-DOH tomorrow if possible. It'll be returned home at the end of the day. Best to put your name on it too. This is for a Math activity. We will be making 3D shapes.

Hi folks!
Students have moved onto our units on NB (Grade 3) and Canada (Grade 4). Grade 3 are nearing the end of their geometry unit. Grade 4 are writing their multiplication and division test tomorrow and moving onto geometry too. In English, students will begin their research projects - a biography. We've just finished the shared writing! Science is still roaring away too.
HOMEWORK: please read their guided reading book each night and work on Math for 5 minutes. Small examples, splashlearn and mental math games/cards go a long way!
MRS YOUNG & MME ANDREE-ANNE: Mme Andree-Anne has provided lots of extra support for some of our readers. Her time is nearing an end (her last day is May 30). Mme Young, our student teacher, is with us until May 1st. Some students were hoping to get a little something for both/either of these teachers. If you are interested in chipping in for a combined gift, please secretly send some money in. Gifts can also be homemade and brought in too! We've been lucky to have them both. If you decide to participate, simply send along with a label for whom and I'll hold them until our going away parties and make sure credit is given where credit is due.
Highlights for this week
TUES: Café Franco, chick eggs to go in incubator, Grade 4 math test, recorder needed for music

Hi folks!
Another week already!
Math: Students are asked to practice their Math facts for 5 minutes each night. This can include but not be limited to - flash cards, Splash Learn, roll dice/deck of cards (addition or multiplication), worksheets, practice questions etc.
Grade 4 families: check out our class website with a "new" way to divide that students have started practicing in class. Some students will be bringing a practice page home tomorrow and teaching YOU how to do a question on your own! Mme. Robichaud | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca)
Summer French Programs: Many parents were asking about summer French programs on the Miramichi. Carrefour Beausoleil's library does have a GREAT selection of activities for free that you can attend. They also have a small tutoring program that's available too. From time to time I receive information of other tutors in the area and have attached one to this message.
Gum: A couple students need to have gum as a strategy to help them concentrate in the classroom. It's been decided from a school and in conjunction with their parents. If any other parent feels like it may help their child, just send in a note. If it ever begins to become a problem, then the privilege/strategy is removed as it is no longer effective.

Happy Solar Eclipse day!
Grade 3's are officially done their Multiplication and Division Unit test. It will go home in the next few days. Next up, geometry. They are wrapping up good copies of their Animals projects and are beginning to learn about NB.
Grade 4's are wrapping up their multiplication and division unit now. 2 digit by 1 digit division is the last new thing (3 strategies) before their review and test. They are finishing up their good copies for their country projects and beginning to learn about NB.
With last week's unexpected storm and stopping to learn a bit about the eclipse, we are little delayed in timeline. All good!
