 Good afternoon, We've had a great start to the week. We began our mushroom experiment this week.  We have to mist the mushrooms every day. We added containers of water to increase the humidity. We are drawing the mushrooms each day to track our progress.  We started the week with intentions. This is a small daily goal we set for ourselves. We wrote them on a sticky note and put them on the whiteboard.  We did really well with our intentions. We learned about Catherine Johnson yesterday. She worked for NASA in the 1950s and helped to launch several space shuttles.  We read a story about her called, "Counting on Catherine." Today we solved a math mystery for Groundhog Day. We worked in groups and had lots of fun.  We also read a story about Chinese New Year. We learned a lot from our classmates who celebrate.  We ended the day with Mathletics and Raz Kids.  Reminders: Report cards are available online!

  Today was our virtual Pillars of Care Assembly for Humility!  Congratulations to our December winners!    This week we also had two caroling assemblies (virtual).  Our class sang "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch." *In my previous post, you will see the link for our virtual winter concert. In Math at the end of this week, we continued working with symmetrical shapes.  We had a fun drawing challenge to complete the other side of a snowflake.  We also had fun with more Esti Mysteries--which use our logic, skip counting, and estimation skills. In Social Studies, we sorted the resource cards in groups again.  This time, we tried to sort into Renewable and Non-Renewable resource categories.  We had some great discussions about whether water is renewable or not (it is) and how we need to take care our natural resources and use them appropriately. Because of the cold temperature, we stayed in for recess and enjoyed body breaks, playing with blocks, a...

  Hello families! My name is Mrs. Karr and I will be the Room 11 teacher until Mr. Fisher returns.  I know this may be a difficult transition.  Please know that I love teaching grade 4 and I am committed to supporting all students! This morning we had an "introduction to Mrs. Karr" slideshow where students guessed many things about me (my favourite colour, food, if I have any pets, children, etc.)  What an observant class!  The grade 4's were able to correctly guess many things about me.  Each student had time to share what things they had in common with me, or things that were different. In Math, students showed me how they used cards or dice to represent multi-digit numbers in standard and expanded form as well as drawing base ten blocks.  In the afternoon, we also played the Fraction Bingo game. In Language Arts, students explained to me what is happening in the novel "The Cats of Tanglewood Forest."  We wrote a summary of the book so far....
