Today we started learning about the First Nations regions in Alberta. We looked at the Rocky Mountains, Grasslands, Boreal Forest, Parklands, Foothills, and Canadian Shield regions. Today's focus was on the Grasslands and Foothills. Ask we what I learned about these two regions!
We continued Mission Impossible in gym today, this time working with partners to make our way like spies through the obstacle course.
We received new words today in our Words Their Way program. We also continued reading "Out of My Mind".
This afternoon we continued working on our writing kits for Tanga. As we continue to work on these projects, we have been talking a lot about taking our time and doing our best work since we will be selling our kits just like a professional artist!
In the Grade 4 communication folders, there is a form regarding the Calgary Young Writer's Conference. If Grade 4 students would like to be considered for this conference, they must submit forms by Thursday, January 28th. From the submissions we receive, a group of 15 students will be selected to attend with an additional 5 being added to a waiting list, as there may be additional spots. Please make sure that you review this form with your child.
