We have some really exciting things happening in grade 4!
- In Social Studies, we are nearly finished our maps! Our 3 groups (Solar System, Earth, and Canada) have completed their research to answer the question, "How do the natural resources, geography (land), influence where people live?" They have also been working hard to complete the visual presentations of each of their places to answer this question. We hope to have it all on display in the classroom when you come in for Student Learning Conversations (conferences) in March.
- Mrs. Michiels returned last week! She has been actively taking up our work around Waste in our World. We have been looking closely at which bins waste should go into (blue, black, green, or other).
- We began our work with our Artist in Residence today! Her name is Sarah, and she is teaching us all about photography. We are making all kinds of awesome connections with Light and Shadow (science inquiry coming up!) and will be creating our own photography projects that we will share with you at the upcoming Spring Gala. Today, we learned about the history of the invention of taking photos, capturing images of light.
- In math, we have begun reviewing multiplication. We have talked about grouping, problem solving, arrays, and have begun working towards recall of multiplication facts to 7x7.
Reminders:
- Green Calgary is coming tomorrow to do a presentation on waste in Calgary. We look forward to learning more about where waste in the black bin goes! A letter about the cost for this presentation was sent home last week.
