Wednesday's Photography

Dawn was the proud spender of her $25 today!  It's fun to watch the students... will they save their money or will they spend it??!!    It takes awhile to earn $25!   Here are a few of Dawn's pictures from our early dismissal day.  ENJOY!   I hope that these pictures inspire conversation between you and your child.  Ask them what they were learning at the time!

Tuesday's Photographer of the day!

Today was Kyleigh's day!  She caught us doing some awesome work during Daily 5, craziness during indoor recesses, Mrs. Campbell being her usual goof, the lice check and simply just LIFE in Grade 4!!

Photographer of the Day!

Using his Campbell Cash, Jourden paid $25 to be the class photographer of the day!  He caught us all working hard, and being silly.  We were sure surprised to have Mr. Monty come back and visit us today!  Here are a FEW of his pictures!!

Math...

Today we learned several ways to compare numbers.  We used 3 different types of Venn Diagrams as well as a Carroll Diagram!  After instruction, the students enjoyed working in groups to compare numbers using specific criteria.  Sometimes a number wouldn't fit the criteria, and they had to throw it out into outer space!

Daily 5

Daily 5 is a method of running a Language Arts classroom.  We are having a great time building our stamina in the 5 different areas. Those areas are Reading to Self, Reading to Someone, Listening to Reading, Work on Writing, and Word Work.  Here we are building our stamina as we Read to Someone.  

Terry Fox

A legend lives on!  We ran for Terry... we ran for our friends, our family.  I'm sure we have all been touched by cancer. I certainly have been. This past year I lost a friend to cancer, and am currently watching another friend and my closest aunt suffer with cancer.  I ran for them.  The kids were great ambassadors for our school on the walk around the block.  :-)  A gorgeous fall day!  We partnered up with Mlle Grenier's Grade 1 class.  It was a blast!

Mrs. Weatherby helped make sure no one was left behind!!
