...to all of YOU for coming last week and celebrating the end of the year with us. It has been a fruitful year and I have no doubt each of the 4RMs will shine on in Grade 5. Thank you again and again to our Class Mom and all the lovely and supportive parents this year. 4RM was lucky to have you! Dear parents,
Students have been busy inquiring into a number of chemistry concepts over the past few weeks. Their investigations are slowly progressing from following a set of steps to strategically planning out and testing for variables ( that's our goal!). One way the Grade 4 team is planning on documenting this process is through the use of one of the following apps. They are both free and would just require to download. These apps are: Piktochart Thinglink: https://itunes.apple.com/ae/app/thinglink/id647304300?mt=8 I know that some students might not have space on their iPads. If it was a choice between either/or I would go for Piktochart as I am currently having difficulty with loading the app on my own iPad ( hopefully that will be resolved by tomorrow!) Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, and thank you for your ongoing cooperation :) Love, Reem Dear parents,
As we commence the start of our last term, I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your constant support towards the class and the kids. We have packed few months ahead and fingers crossed we'll be able to pull through! Please note that there will be a small change with P.E. classes starting this week. On Day 2, students usually have PE during 2nd period. This will now become swimming. This means, students will have swimming twice per cycle on Day 2 and Day 6. I would also like to get your point of view on beginning a class wide chapter book reading. This means, the whole class will be reading and responding to the same book. We have a class copy and I usually ask the students if they would like to purchase their own. I will be assigning reading at home from the book at times, while others we will read and respond together in class. The whole purpose of this is to develop habits of discussing, interacting, and responding to a book all together. Students will look at strategies to look up challenging words, comprehension skills, and character plot and analyzing. Please do let me know if that is okay for the students to buy their own copy. From previous years, the students really enjoy reading this book and connect with the characters in so many ways. Regardless of the level, it's a great opportunity. The book title is: 'Wonder' by R.J. Palacio. Thank you again and again. Looking forward to hearing back from you! Dear parents,
A BIG THANK YOU to all those that came to our 4RM assembly yesterday! The students worked very hard on writing the script, practicing and putting it all together. With all the hustle and bustle of making sure everything goes smoothly, Ms. E and I noticed that neither of us took any pictures/videos of the final performance! Can I ask if any of the parents did to send them through please! Thank you and have an awesome break! Reem Dear parents,
Our 4RM assembly is coming up on March 22nd ( Next week, 12:35-1:05pm!). Students have been working hard on the script and it's looking like a really fun one. Don't miss it! |
