Please send a colour photo of your student standing sideways (whole body in photo) wearing their uniform, backpack, etc. We will be using this at school to “match the picture” and help each student gain independence in preparing for home and making sure to have all belongings (uniform pieces, homework etc)
See below for an example. Students will use this photo to make sure they are leaving with the correct shoes on, their uniform, etc, we will also be adding special objects. Each photo will be laminated so students can see, and maybe draw until they are used to it, what they need; for example to remember to carry home gym strip, project, recorder, coat, hat etc. This will help students from forgetting and misplacing things. This should also help with remembering all homework so they don’t get home and realize they forgot it.

We began FSA practice last week …. During this next month the amount of homework your child gets will be much smaller. We will be completing practices and then the real exam in class. Yesterday should be the only piece of practice sent home unless your child needs a bit more time.
Some topics that will be on the FSA online math section are;
-perimeter P= L+L+W+W
-Area A=L x W
-fractions example which fraction is smaller 1/2 1/4 1/6 1/12 answer 1/12
RULE* when the numerator is the same, the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
-multiplication/ division – students will have access to a calculator for the online portion of the math test
-addition/subtraction *keep working on mental math skills to solve these questions quicker
-patters example 1,2,4,7,?,?? write down the pattern and find the difference between each number. In this example the difference between 1&2 is +1, the difference between 2&4 is +2, then +3 and so to continue to pattern we would use +4, +5 and so on.
-Capacity- have your child look at a juice box or pop can to see how many mL are inside, also a juice or milk carton to see maybe 2L or 4L. This will help them have a visual of how much liquid is in something they see and or use on a daily basis.
I have to have everything submitted by November 22. If you are going on a holiday between now and then please let me know as we will have to arrange when to complete their exam.

Dear Parents,
We hope that this newsletter finds you all well and enjoying the early days of Fall. As we head into October, we have observed that the grade 4 students are adjusting well to the expectations for the intermediate students. We have worked on morning routines with them, what active listening looks like and how to be prepared for each of their classes with the correct materials. We have also expressed the importance of keeping their personal belongings neat and organized.
In Language Arts we are working on our writing and reading skills. We have talked about “What do good readers and writers do”. When we read our novels, poems or information text we use these 5 skills:
A few important dates to add to your calendars:
We ask that you please check your child’s agenda and initial it each school night. This will help your child’s organizational skills and will promote good communication between home and the school.
Thank you for your cooperation and participation in your child’s learning.
Miss. S. LeRose
