Terry Fox Run

We had wonderful weather for our Terry Fox run! Our class raised $51.00 today! Considering that we had 20 students today (a few were sick) we did very well. We met Terry's goal of at least one dollar per person! We will keep you posted about how much the whole school raised for cancer research. Thanks for participating.

Grade 4- Homework Baggie worksheets covering comparing numbers and addition basics.

Program Night Reminder

Program Night is tonight at 6:30. It is aimed at adults, as we cover curriculum, assessment and daily routines for your child. If you can make it this evening, that would be great! There will be information handed out only for parents who wish to have copies; I have a sign up Smartboard page to avoid paper wasting, as often, parents do not feel the need to have paper copies of the evening. No hand outs will be issued tonight. They will be sent home with your child, if you request them. Thanks!

Field Trip and Homework

Our Junior Classes (grades 4, 5 and 6) have all been invited to the Richmond Fair for an educational session on nutrition and agriculture. Please sign and return all permission and medical forms by this Wednesday, September 17th. We also need 1 or 2 volunteers per class. If you said YES I can volunteer, names are put in a baggie and drawn. I will contact by phone call Wednesday evening if your assistance is required. The trip is most of the day on Friday, September 19th (approx. 9:30 until 1:30). Let's hope for nice weather!

Homework

     Hello to parents and students! Homework has begun. The Grade 4 students received a mail-baggie with some homework practice on Place Value concepts and expanded form. The Grade 5 students took home their textbooks. Textbooks stay at home in a safe place all year. Complete the pages copied from the Agenda board on Monday and return the purple notebook by Friday. Students always have a full week to complete the work, allowing students a chance to have hockey practice, dance etc. and work around your busy schedules. Some weeks will have more, some will have less. Anytime your child finishes the work with several days left, encourage them to work on the educational games on this blog site as practice. This helps them to be familiar with the math, as well as practice technical media literacy through working with computers. Practice Times Tables too!

WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER 2014!

     Welcome to Miss. Sturgeon's Grade 4 and 5 classroom blog. This site will give you information about homework, field trips or events that are coming up, and even educational news and trends. Use the links on this site when regular homework is complete. Try times tables games nightly to keep fresh! It's all here for you. The categories are getting larger and are in need of re-arranging, but most sites should be fairly easy to find. Enjoy! It should be a fun year!
