Welcome to Grade Four, Junior Division!
| Home | Homework Philosophy |
We are now into some really nice weather. There are days where it may seem cooler, however the sun is always out there, and with clear sky days, comes the chance of sunburn. Sunblock is important, and can be put on in the mornings to avoid burns on the face and ears. Please also remind your children to bring, and wear their hats to schools.
In social studies, we are looking at Medieval Times, one of the hot topics of grade 4! Take a visit to the Barrie Public library to take out a couple of the large selection of books on this topic. With so many areas of interest (everything from knights to the Black Death), there is something for all grade 4 students to enjoy.
Homework is not assigned on a regular basis. The best homework assignment you can provide is regular, sustained reading for 20 minutes daily (during dinner prep, before bed, after dinner, before a favourite t.v. program, etc).
Even though your child is now in junior division, reading to them is another excellent way to develop literacy, and good reading practises.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me before or after school during regular office hours.
