From the classroom:

In math we are working on solving basic equations with one unknown variable ( for example: 14 + n = 19, or a x 5 = 45); this is a precursor to algebra, which comes in later years. We will be wrapping this up next week. Students are encouraged to practice times tables up to 9x9 and addition and 3-digit addition and subtraction with carrying and borrowing at home. 

In English we were talking about some grammar points today and we were saving lives with commas ( i.e.: "Let's eat kids." vs. "Let's eat, kids."). We have wrapped up chapter 4 of Fatty Legs this week too.

We had our Remembrance Day assembly today. Two grade four students presented the acknowledgment of the land in Spanish and English. Grade 3 and 5 also presented. 

In Spanish we continue to work on reading and responding to what we have read. Today we started a whole class reading of a book and worked on responding to the questions accurately, following guidelines for page organization. 

REMINDER: There is NO SCHOOL tomorrow, Friday, November 11. 

See you next week!
