Just Humming Along......................

Dear Parent(s),

Thanks for the support you are giving your child regarding Science Fair. I am available
to lend support and answer any questions you might have after school. I would like the
projects in the classroom on Tuesday, Feb. 1st.

Since the beginning of January, we have been reviewing basic measurement
concepts (Grade 3). Many of the grade 4's are struggling with mass
(grams=g and kilograms=kg) and capacity(millilitres=mL and litres-L). They
need more experience with these concepts and looking through the frig and
food cupboards will help them to better apply these concepts to containers
 and weights in their everyday life. Please encourage them to explore the frig
and cupboards.

Will There, Or Won't There? That Is the Question!!

.......................................................be a Snow Day?


I am writing this in a hurry, but here are three quick updates:

Class Photo Day: -tomorrow (Wed., Jan. 12th)
                           -students are required to be in full uniform, including sweaters

Taking a Precaution: -a ski pass tore of a jacket today during recess.
                                -it may be a good idea to remove the pass and
                                 re-attach Sun. night

It's Just A Review: -some of the grade 4's are a little rusty on their
                              measurement concepts, so please be sure the
                              corrections that are coming home are completed.
                             -do some linear, mass and capacity exploring around the house

Find those scarves and mitts,
Kathe
