December 8 - 12

Hello!

Some important reminders:

  • Next week, on Friday, we will be having a school-wide PJ and movie day. No stuffies or plushies are allowed on this day.
  • Please continue to practice basic fact fluency at home for at least 10 to 15 minutes every day (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

Here is what we have been up to this week:

Art - We drew and decorated our own gingerbread houses. Next week, we will be doing some math with our gingerbread houses (hint - we will be exploring area!)

 

 

Gym - We finished our unit of skipping.

Literacy Station - We did literacy stations on our chromebooks on Wednesday. We completed word sorts. This is something we will continue to do every Wednesday.
 

 

 

Math - We learned about area this week. We played a few partner games and answered some area questions on the chromebooks. We are also continuing to get fluent with our multiplication facts.

 

 

 
 

 

 

  

 

Science - We did an experiment involving static electricity. Using a balloon, we rubbed it on our head and brought it close to pieces of paper. What happened next was so interesting!


 

 

 


Writing - This week, we learned about procedural writing. This is writing that tells the reader how to do, make, or be something.

 

 

 
 

Root of the Week - scrib/script and mit/mis

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Hello 4C Families! A few important reminders for back to school: Please ensure that you check the blog every Friday as this will be the main form of communication regarding student activities during the school day and upcoming events. Please also read through the Northern Lights News every Friday - found on the school website here. Personal Mobile Devices and Social Media Use in Our School - K - 9 students will not be permitted to use personal mobile devices during the school day. Student devices brought to school must be out of sight and either powered off or set to silent.

Welcome! We are so excited to be starting the 2024-2025 year with you! This year, our whole school will be using Blogger to make regular agenda posts.  To make it easier for you, you can add the blog right on to the home screen of your phone or iPad by following the directions on the “Adding Blogger to Home Screen” document. We hope this makes the communication between home and school easier and opens up great conversations between you and your child.  The CBE and Mrs. Brinson will be communicating information to you through School Messenger email titled ‘Northern Lights News for ___”. This email will include a link to the Northern Lights School Website so messages can be translated into any language.  To make sure you receive these email messages, please SUBSCRIBE using the email address you gave to the school.   - Ms. Vashi

Hello everyone! Some important reminders (especially the ones in RED !): Please ensure that you check the blog every Friday as this will be the main form of communication regarding student activities during the school day and upcoming events. To support your child’s literacy skills, I encourage you to set aside time each day for reading at home. Sharing stories together or letting your child choose their favourite books can make reading a fun and enjoyable experience. Your involvement plays a crucial role in developing their love for reading and improving their skills. Every two months, I send home a Scholastic book flyer.

Happy reading! To help support your child's numeracy skills, pra...
