This week, we used two wonderful picture books as a springboard for a writing and art project. Mrs. Pols' class used the book, The Barnabus Project and Ms. Mitchell's class used to book, Where The Wild Things Are. Using the books for inspiration, the students were excited to create their own "wild things" and critters. We then worked together brainstorm descriptive ways to write about our creations. Our focus was on using a variety of words to express ideas. The students came up with a many interesting and effective ideas such as; massive bulging eyes, one lonely viper tooth and miniature teeth as sharp as razors. Next week, the students will complete their written piece and create their final piece of art representing their critter. We cannot wait to see how they turn out!

The students have been engaged in a variety of learning activities including using whiteboards, math scoots and the game, Kahoot. Be sure to ask your child what was their favourite.

We have had a fantastic first couple weeks of learning in our grade four classrooms. Our focus has been on getting to know one another and building a positive classroom community. This connects to the our new Wellness Curriculum. Our guiding question has been: How can we develop healthy relationships that are mutually supportive? Please explore the pictures below and invite your child to share a little about the activities and their learning.

This week, we looked at the meaning and importance of Remembrance Day. We discussed the impact of wars on soldiers and their families. This connected nicely to our social studies curriculum and the outcome; recognize how stories of people and events provide multiple perspectives on past events. The students created works of art connected to their learning.

Fantastic Fours
