March 16 - 19 - Please see this post about Executive Functioning Skills

Hi 4C Families!

Some important reminders below:

  • Make sure you are working on your multiplication and division facts!
  • Families should continue to check the blog every week as we highlight the important learning we are doing in the classroom.
I am looking forward to seeing you during conferences. Please come on time at the time you signed up. Check out our amazing documentation panels while you wait for your conference. 


Here is what we have been up to this week:

Writing - This week, we finished our birthday party story. We discussed the importance of editing our work and spent a lot of time editing our work and our peer's work. A strategy we learned to use is putting our book up and reading our story out loud to edit and revise. We also did a whole class mini-lesson on neat printing. This is an important skill to learn as we transition to higher grades and so that when we write a message/story, our reader can clearly read and understand it.

 

 

 

 
 

 

Self Reflections - This week, we reflected on our actions and responsibilities as students. We will review these with our families at conferences. 
 

 


Math - We learned about percentages. We also learned how fractions, decimals and percentages all represent the same part-whole relationship. We played some partner games to reinforce our learning. 

 
 

 

Executive Functioning Skills used in Reading, Writing, and Math (and really across all subjects in different grades and schools) - We learned about our executive functioning skills and how we used them EVERYDAY! We also discussed that Mrs. Desai does help us strengthen these skills EVERYDAY!



 


P.E. - We learned a new game this week - 9 Square. It was so fun!

 

 

Social Studies - We began our Explorer research project this week. We researched on Chromebooks and began to create our poster on Canva.

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...
