Gr 4 Class Dojo

Hello Gr 4 Parents,

After months of being interrupted every 5 secs while trying to teach the gr 4's, I have had to unfortunately set up a Class Dojo for them. It is not something I want to use nor will enjoy using, but it is a necessary thing at this point in the year to try and lessen the negative behaviours.

Students will be bringing home a letter for you so you can monitor their wise and not so wise choices in class that are not only affecting their learning, but their classmates as well.

I'm sure you are not looking forward to another thing you will  need to check and be aware of. I am not looking forward to wasting time in class doing this. For the time being, only negative points will be recorded so if you are not seeing anything coming from your child, then this is good news because they are doing exactly what they are suppose to be doing.

Grade 5 Math

Curious as to what the 5's are up to with their Living Space project? 

We've been tuning our Micro:bit coding skills in order to set up our big code for data collection. We will be coding our class sensor to measure the temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels in our portable. We will then measure the same levels in the school to compare our results. Here is the sequence we will be coding. We will also be running some calibration experiments to make sure our sensor is accurate.

This data will be more than just a curiosity for us as we will be using it as we move into data management at the end of the week.

Welcome Back

I hope everyone had a great Christmas break! Thank you for your thoughtful gifts and cards.

There will be a short test for both grades sometime next mid week.
