January 5 - 9

Hello!

Some important reminders:

  • Please continue to practice basic fact fluency at home for at least 10 to 15 minutes every day (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).
  • Make sure you are continuing to support your child in practicing their life skills for the week. At the end of the blog, I add a picture of what skill we are working on for the week. Thank you!

Here is what we have been up to this week:

ELAL - Making Predictions, Connections and Inferences -  We watched a couple of videos, looked at  some pictures and read a book. We predicted what would happen in the videos. We also learned to make strong connections.
 

 

 


P.E. - Mission Impossible!
 


Social Studies - Citizenship - We learned about how to be a good citizen, rights and responsibilities.

Math - We spent this week doing a quick review of multiplication. We made notes in our math book about tips and tricks on how we can memorize the multiplication facts. We played Multiplication Bingo and Multiplication War.
 

 

 

 

 


Health - We learned that all the zones are okay! (as long as you don't stay in that zone) We started to represent this idea with a poster in our visual journals.
 


We earned our class party - so we did a couple of STEM challenges.
 

 

 

 

Root of the Week - geo and ter/terra

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. They should be left in backpacks, lockers or areas designated by teachers or better yet - simply left at home. Please complete the Name Jar activity with your child this weekend! We will share our answers next week with the class and complete a writing activity.  Here is what we have been up to this week: Challenges - As we transitioned into Grade 4, we completed some challenges and played some fun games with o...

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. If you want to purchase books for your child to read at home, please use the code that is written on the flyer. Using my code helps me gain reward points that I can use towards buying books for the classroom library. You can also obtain a library card and check out books for your child free of cost. Happy reading! To help support your child's numeracy skills, pra...
