Jacket Racket Project 2018

The Grade 4 Peace Ambassadors are running the annual Jacket Racket Project this year. They will run the collection of clothing items until Friday November 2.

We are looking for 1-2 parent volunteers to come in fist thing in the morning for during that time to assist the students with sorting and bagging the collected items. One group of students will collect the items from classrooms and the other group will help sort the items with the parent volunteer. There will be sorting bins, bags and labels set up in the hub and parent volunteers can expect to be there from about 8:30 to 9 AM.  If you can help us out, please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080d44afab28abf94-jacket1

Volunteers must have completed their police security checks and have their security clearance.

Thank you for volunteering your time!

Working on Writing

We looked at how to "hook" the reader and begin our story writing in exciting ways. Students learned about using an action, dialogue, a thought or question, or a sound to start a story with. They also were given a picture prompt to write a story about.

Ignite Brainstorming

So that we are challenged with new experiences during our daily ignite time, students were asked to brainstorm what they have learned during this time in the morning. This provided us with a lot of ideas to create challenges with in the future. Take a look at our blog during the week to see what some of our challenges are.

Math

Students were given a problem to solve in math today. Each student was allocated a budget to purchase items from a list. Place value concepts as well as adding and subtracting with regrouping were introduced and/or reinforced.

 P.E.

We enjoyed beautiful weather outside for P.E. today. We practiced running relays, handoffs and throwing and catching with a football.
