Dear Parent/Guardian,
This week, students are working on completing
their math assessment for our unit on Multiplication and Division. I will
continue to meet with students to complete a Running Record to assess their
current reading/comprehension level. Please talk with your child about their
reading level this week.
On Friday, we will be
visiting Leo Hayes High School to listen to the NB Jr. Orchestra; this will be
a great opportunity for students!
If you have any questions or
concerns, please contact me at shaneen.coes@nbed.nb.ca, or call 453-5422 to schedule a meeting.

Homework
The homework assigned is an extension
of class instruction and meant for extra practice. Completed activities can be
kept at home. However, if there is an activity you would like to share with me,
please do so.
Reading- read aloud (even to yourself!) for 20 minutes each
night. Complete the reading log each night. Remember to have it signed. Talk to
your parents about what you are reading at school this week and what your
current reading level is.
Word Work- Students are now working on new lists of words from the
Words Their Way program; copies can be found in their Communication Bag.
Numeracy- Practice math facts each night and have someone quiz you
if possible. Make your own or have a parent create a math worksheet to practice
multiplication and then check using a calculator. Grade 4 students can work on
multiplying 1 digit by 2 digit numbers (ex: 7 x 16). Also, all students should
practice telling time at home, to the nearest minute.
