Dare to Soar in Grade Four! Room 166: Fun Friday!

Welcome to FRIDAY! The last one before Spring Break!

Student Led Conferences:
Conferences would have been yesterday and today, maybe you got an email 'reminder' like I did from PowerSchool. Now is the time, when we want you to reflect and celebrate the great learning you have been doing these past few months of grade four! There's lots to celebrate! I have some questions to help guid your thinking and reflections on your learning this year so far (families can do their with students):

What have you learned this year at school that you think is most interesting (and why)?
What new skill or strategy are you most proud of? Explain this.
What is something you found challenging and how did you persevere?
Talk about a time where you found something really hard, but you didn't give up!
What have you discovered this year about how you learn best?

If you want to make a Google Slide or a little video or a drawing or mind map or ?? about this reflection, please take a photo and email (kaross@cbe.ab.ca) it to me or share it on Google Docs (kaross@educbe.ca)!

Math - If you finished your AREA calculations for your room and the quilt problem, let's think about big numbers!

Can you solve this ZOO TRIP problem?

After solving this problem, take a picture of your work and email it to Mrs. Ross at kaross@cbe.ab.ca

Here is a book to get you thinking about our next focus in Math! The Great Divide: A Mathematical Marathon by Gayle Ann Dodds....

Reading: Great job class, on EPIC books we got a CLASS REWARD! Together we have read 25 books! Let's see if we can read 50 books by the end of March??

Trout Blog

Copperfield School now has a TROUT blog! The tank is still in the Learning Commons....keep track of their journey by visiting their new blog! CLICK HERE FOR TROUT BLOG!

Science: Take a stroll in nature and use your senses to really observe!

Here is what I saw yesterday at my house around 4pm. I just had to take the time to listen and look up! They are birds, either Waxwings or Starlings, I think. They made a loud humming noise and then a woosh when they all turned together! Using your estimation skills how many birds do you think are in this flock? (The beeping is my car door, try to ignore that).

Literacy and Math Night was a SUCCESS!

Also, there are some fun things to learn by using resources from our FAMILY MATH AND LITERACY NIGHT that was held way back in February! They are on the school website and can be accessed here by CLICKING HERE FOR MATH/LITERACY INFORMATION!

Have a HEALTHY AND MEMORABLE SPRING BREAK WITH YOUR LOVED ONES!
