October 15th to 18th

Calendar Notes this week:

• October 18th STUDENT Vote 
• October 18th $40 VANCOUVER DEPOSIT DUE along with signed notices of intent and preferred payment method 

Funwork this week:

Math: We are working on increasing and decreasing number values through addition and subtraction. Grade 4 targets numbers up to 10 000 and Grade 5 numbers up to 1 000 000, but students are expected to work to a level that stretches their capabilities. You can expect a Math Point of Progress on place value, adding and subtracting to be posted to your child's Freshgrade account by October 21st.

Language Arts: Students will begin working with stretchy sentences to explore parts of speech and language. Those sentence writing skills will be put to work as we put together the biography projects. Students are reading Raven Tales to practice CAFE strategies that are being modeled in class and conferencing with Ms Powers and Ms Bridal. Remember, reading, any kind of reading, helps to reinforce and build those reading skills as well as thinking skills that are useful across all areas.

Social Studies: Students will learn about Canada's main political parties, their leaders and their logos. We will learn about the vote, one of the rights we have as Canadian citizens.

Science: Students will learn about the scientific method. We will conduct a simple experiment to explore how it works.

And much more will be going on in Division 3 this short week, October 15th to 18th.
