Happy Friday!

Some important reminders below:

  • Make sure you are working on your division facts!
  • Families should continue to check the blog every week as we highlight the important learning we are doing in the classroom.
Here is what we have been up to this week:

Brave Like The Buffalo -  We had an assembly for our author visit. Melissa Allan came into our school to read us her book, sang a song for us and answered some of our questions. 
 

 

 

Literacy Stations - We began working on two new literacy stations - art critique and word matrix. Ask your child about this!
 

 
 
 

Math - We continued working on long division. Next week, we will learn a new long division strategy and learn how to solve word problems that involve long division. Our Show What You Know will be either the end of next week or the first week of March. 
 

 

 

Buddies - We decorated a piece of paper plate which represents a dragon scale - for our Lunar New Year dragon parade. On our scale, we drew where we come from (flag) or a cultural tradition we follow. 
 

 


Writing - We wrote about the planet we researched. We learned how to write a hamburger paragraph back in September and November. Those skills should not have been forgotten! We discussed in detail what a 2, 3, and a 4 looks like in Gr. 4 when writing. 

Root of the Week - metr, cred and ped/pod

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.

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...
