This week's focus sight words were "be" and "for". We worked with the letters G and H.
I sent home a review/practice homework sheet with students who brought back the pink slip from last week indicating that parents wanted these "homework" sheets. If your child did not bring one home today and you would like the work, please email me at jllarmer@cbe.ab.ca and I will add your child's name to the list.
Today we learned about the work of the late artist Keith Haring with our Grade 4 buddies. Mrs. Miller led us in a creative art task based on Keith's style of art. Buddies worked together to create their own Haring-inspired art. The short lines you see indicate movement.

In Math, we continue to learn about the multiple ways numbers can be represented. We have started to represent numbers 1-10 using these different ways in our Math notebooks and daily during our Calendar time. We have also been completing worksheets and playing a variety of partner games to practice this skill.
We have also been doing daily work focused on sounding out and decoding CVC words. Today, the students worked independently to label a group of CVC words. We continue to practice identifying short vowel sounds daily.
Yesterday, we read two books about Thanksgiving and what it means to show gratitude. The children shared one or two things they are grateful for in their Visual Journals. You may want to ask your child to share with you what they wrote about.
And on that note, I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving long weekend. I hope you are able to spend some relaxing time enjoying family and friends. I look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Tuesday. :)
