May 4 - 8

Hello 4C Families!

Some important reminders below:

 
  • From May 4 - 15, we will be having a school-wide food drive. We encourage students to bring in non-perishable food items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, and other pantry staples. Please avoid bringing items that are expired or require refrigeration.
  • 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:

Autobiographies - We started off our next writing unit by writing About the Author for our poem anthology. We learned what autobiographies are. We created a web that tells us about ourselves and then planned out our first paragraph (using the TIDE planner). We will be working on our last two paragraphs next week. 

 

 

 



 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

  

 

 

Math - We learned about geometric sequences. After reviewing for a couple of days, we had our mini-Show What You Know yesterday.
 

Science - In science, we learned about sunlight and water - and how important they are to sustain life. 
 

 

 

Happy Mother's Day! There is a surprise on the back of these cards - just for you!








Enjoying the sunshine with our buddies!

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.

If you want to purchase books for your child to read at home, please use the code that is written on the flyer.

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