Hello everyone!  We had a wonderful day (minus a long discussion about fairness during soccer at lunch), and got plenty done:

1. Opening Exercises - independent reading
2. Math - we did our practice FSA numeracy test today.  Parents of Grade 4`s, please encourage your children to take their time and ensure their answer is correct.  Many of them were done way before they had to be, and had lots incorrect. We will do a practice writing component next week, and then start our FSA`s the following week.  During the actual FSA`s the Grade 3`s will be doing other work.
3. Music - with Mr. Banman
4. Spelling and memory test - marks are in their planners
5. R.W. - I introduced a new program we`re starting today, called Book Adventure.  Your child knows all about it, and they can show you it at Book Adventure .  Their username is likely their first name and birth year, and their password is cascade1.
6. Science - we talked about the order of the planets, and how some are solid and some are made of gas
7. DPA - we had a dance brain break today, which everyone enjoyed!
8. Art - we started our northern lights silhouettes today, which will be beautiful once completed!
