This week we finished reading our first whole class read aloud novel, The Wild Robot. We loved the wonderful story of Roz, a robot, who learns to love and connect with the animals as she makes a remote island her home. We focused on the the learning outcome: students can paraphrase and discuss ideas. First we read a chapter and worked together to pull out the important ideas. We then worked to focus in on the main idea of the chapter by writing a summary. In order to truly focus on the main idea, our goal was to try to keep our summary as close to twenty words as possible. The students enjoyed the challenge of capturing the most important moments with a specific number of words.

In math, our focus has been on representing and describing whole numbers up to 10 000 and ordering and comparing numbers to 10 000. 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.
