It will be a nice, busy week in 4D this week! I'm looking forward to a full week. Last week we spent some time revisiting expectations, and I know everyone is geared up for a productive week coming up.
Literacy:
We will be starting a unit on Synthesizing (summarizing and finding the main idea in both fiction and non fiction texts) in reading comprehension. This will be integrated with a Descriptive Report in writing. Our reports will be about a province or city in Canada as we learn more about the physical landscape of Canada in Social Studies. We will then present our report to a student in 4B, and vice versa.
Homework:
Due to the storm day last Wednesday, I did not collect reading logs on Friday. Homework expectations will resume this week. Please support your child in their nightly reading, and have them fill in their reading log each evening. There will be new word study words this week, so word study activities will be expected to be completed for homework as well. I have included the word study instructions/nightly schedule in your child's reading log duotang. This way, when they get new word study scribblers they will still have the instructions available at home.
Super Happy Fun Jar Celebration:
Our marble jar was filled before the holidays. There were already so many exciting and fun activities happening during that time, so we decided to hold off to have our celebration in the new year!
We will be having a sledding party! This will include sledding on school property and hot beverages afterwards. Students are welcome to bring their own sleds to school as long as parents can drop them off and pick them up. They are not able to go on the buses. I will also bring extra sleds. Helmets are encouraged - hockey helmets or bike helmets are acceptable. If anyone has extras that they are able to send, I would greatly appreciate it! Of course this activity is weather dependent. I am hoping we can do it on Thursday, as long as we don't get too much rain on Wednesday. A notice will go home with students today.
Have a great week!
