Next week : Tuesday, October 23  Picture day at Parkdale Elementary

FYI   …    We are still waiting on the weather before determining a date to reschedule our trip to Robinson’s Island/Brackley Beach.

This week we continue learning the routines of Words Their Way (spelling program).  Next week I will send a homework folder home explaining this.  I will also send levelled reading books for home reading now that I have a handle on most current reading levels of the students.

We are finishing up letter writing and recount writing this week.  We are learning how to expand on sentences and will work further on revising and editing techniques.

In Gr. 4 Math, we are working on estimating sums and moving onto using mental math for adding (3 and 4 digit numbers).
