A few talks were had today in grade 4. The entire grade 4 population was called together by our V.P to remind them of the higher expectations we hold them to in junior when it comes to behaviour and learning skills.
A separate, more emotional chat was had with our class and a few other friends to help them understand why a classmate will be absent for many weeks. Please follow up with your child to see how you can support them if they have concerns or fears.

Gr 4 Math Review
We did a practice review today in class in grade 4 to help them get ready for their test on Thursday.
Some will be bringing home the review to finish it because they needed more time or because they did not use their time wisely.
If your child has brought theirs home to finish it, you will have to go over and mark it please for them since they won't get their marked review back in time for tomorrow to know what they need to focus their studying on.

Hungry Grade 4's
Bad news grade 4 parents - your grocery bills are going to start increasing. For a few weeks now, there have been plenty of students claiming to not have any snacks left in the afternoon for last snacks. They are a hungry bunch so please check with them to make sure they have enough packed for the day to keep them going.
Grade 4 Autobiographies
Hello grade 4 parents, your children have started brainstorming in order to write their autobiographies. So far they have lots of interesting stories to share that they remember or have been told.
They should be coming home asking you questions about themselves, their early years, their ancestors, and about you. Please help them fill in the gaps and share interesting stories and facts with them so they have lots to write about.
They will be taking the information and stories you share with them and turning it into a story about their lives.

October Update
Grade 4
The 4's are still a work in progress. They wrote up contracts today to hold themselves accountable for their actions and set goals on ways to improve. If they break their contract, it will be sent home for their parents to sign and return. We talked about the things they are doing well and the areas they need to improve on.
Marked tests will be sent home tomorrow. The last of the students were finishing them today. They will be bringing them home in their yellow assessment folders. Please sign it and have them return the entire folder with the test. We have now moved into adding and subtracting 4 digit numbers and working with money amounts. These are very easy things to practise at home or when out shopping.
Congratulations to Sofia, Will, and Carter for making their first St Anne school team. Good luck at the cross country meet!
The grade 4's will have a supply teacher on Wednesday as I'm in the school working on something else.
Grade 5
The 5s are still going strong and doing a great job. Their tests went home on Monday in their orange assessment folders for you to sign. If you haven't seen it come home yet, please ask your child for it.
They too have started addition and subtraction with 5 digits and working with money. These are easy skills to practise and develop at home with them.
Students should be finished their research project on either the ISS, Mars, or David Saint Jacques. Many are close to finishing up their biographies on Terry Fox.
If you haven't sent in the information verification sheet yet, please do.
Portable Update
It's there but not exactly ready for us to learn in yet. The grade 5's took it for a spin today and we discussed how we can still manage a flexible learning environment in a rectangle.
We will need hand sanitizer since we don't have a sink and kleenex please to be sent in.
