Term 5 begins! The last term! That's it!! Are we ready!? Yes we are!! Grade 4, I'm so proud of all that you have achieved this year! You have shown that you are capable, intelligent, and outgoing students who have faced all challenges with a smile and some elbow grease. As we start Term 5, I want you to know that I wish I could slow down time and have more time with you guys before you head off to Middle School. So, let's enjoy our last term together, and work to the bone! We will be starting the term with Map Testing, which takes place throughout this week. So hearty breakfasts, please mom and dad! In Math, we will be focusing on Area to begin the Term. Students MUST visit and watch the MATH HELP tab to help commit the various formulas to memory. In Reading, we will be spending time with Lois Lowry's Number the Stars. As German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark, the Johansens take in Annemarie's best friend, Ellen Rosen, and pretend she is part of the family. The girls live like sisters, until it becomes clear something more needs to be done to save Ellen, her family, and the Jews of Denmark.

This Friday we will have our Uniform Free Friday, don't forget to bring 1,000 won!
Also, we will celebrate birthdays and our last day of Term 4. Enjoy the weather!! -Mr. Baker- Hi everyone! It seems my post last week didn't post. So let's recap.
Battle of the Books was a fantastic success. I'm so proud of all three teams. Dalton kids, you did a great job! All three coaches reported that our students played really well, answering tough questions and trying their best. We also saw that our Dalton students were showing proper sportsmanship. They were courteous to the judges, friendly to other teams, and demonstrated their maturity throughout. Well done teams!! From last week and going into this week we have been and will be busily working on our two main projects for this term - our social studies project on countries as well as our science project on classifying living things. Our social studies project is computer based - with students using google slides for the country report and then canva.com for a travel brochure. They are enjoying learning about their countries and look forward to presenting to their fellow students. Our science project is a little more old school. A lot of cutting and gluing as they build their own books about classifying animals. Both of these will make it to seesaw by the end of the month. :) See you there! Greetings students and parents!
I hope you all had a relaxing spring break. Time to get back to work. We only have one school week left until Battle of the Books. I hope students had ample time to read and reread their expert books. The majority of homework this week will be dedicated to preparing for Saturday's battles. We will be doing more than just reading this week though. In Social Studies, students have chosen the countries they would like to research for their country projects. In Science, we will continue to work on classifying organisms, and begin work on the next phase of our Term 4 science project - this time, we will be making a book! In Math, we will be furiously focusing on the fundamentals of fantastic fractions in a less frustrating manner! Phew. I had a sudden alliteration attack. Finally, during our writing blocks, we will continue to focus on theme in readers responses. I thoroughly enjoyed reading our student responses to the Three Little Pigs. More fables this week! I wish you all the best and look forward to working with our students throughout the week. Cheers! Mr. Baker p.s. Don't forget to visit the pictures page for updated photos, as well as the Math Tab for math help with fractions to be updated throughout the week. |
