Pumpkin Math Tomorrow and Other Notes

Pumpkin Math Tomorrow and Other Notes

Interesting day today. We had a number of students out sick which made for a very different day.

We are supposed to be having our annual Pumpkin Math tomorrow. Our pumpkins are ready to go and sitting in the class! Just a reminder that students need an old shirt to wear on top of their uniforms. Students should still wear uniforms tomorrow. For those adults able to come and help, we will be starting at 1:00.

If there are too many students sick, we may look at postponing Pumpkin Math to another day.

Memory verses are continuing and, while we got off to a good start, I have had a number of students not ready for their memory verses. Students will typically get a week to have their memory verses ready but I have already had some students tell me they didn’t have time to memorize their verse. 🙂 Memory verses are for marks and to get a 4, students should be able to tell me how the verse is relevant to them. Our verse for this week is the complete Matthew 6:9-15 which they have been working on throughout October. I was telling the students today that at my last school, we used to sing Oh Canada and do the Lord’s Prayer as an entire school every morning as it was played/spoken over the school intercom!

In other notes, we are about half through our Place Value unit and students will be completing a quiz later in the week on place value and expanded notation. Students have already started our Grade 4 FSA’s (Foundational Student Assessments) and will be continuing work on them throughout the next few weeks.

The rain has started and while we may have a number of inside recesses coming, we will try to send students outside even if it is a light drizzle. Please make sure students come ready for the weather.

Our music of the week is an Irish folk group called Lunasa. The name of the group refers to an Irish harvest festival which is quite appropriate for the fall.
