October 25th

Highlights

• We have been learning about congruence and symmetry in math
• Next week we are starting our multiplication unit. Please practice basic multiplication facts up to 9x9
• We are finishing up our unit in Light and Shadow in Science. We will be playing a jeopardy game to review the concepts and will have a quiz in class on Tuesday. 
• All Grade 4 classes will have a student-teacher joining their class from Nov 12th to Dec 12th from either UofL or UofC.

Reminders

• October 31st - Grade 4 Halloween party. Students will be able to dress up in costumes after lunch. Please, no full mask, weapons or treats. There will be a room available with alternate activities for those students who do not wish to participate in the Halloween activities.
• November 1st - Non-Instructional Day
• Starting this year, we have been attempting to reduce our SVS ecological footprint by moving towards a “Pack In and Pack Out” philosophy.  Once a student has eaten their lunch or snack, the packaging of that item will be put back into lunch kits and returned home for recycling. In continuing to support this positive change, please provide a locking baggie for items such as apple cores, yogurt tubes, etc. The baggie will be returned home with the student each day for composting at home and then should be added back into the lunch kit for the next day.  Help us make a difference!

Bring your pumpkin to the DLC after school on Wednesday, October 30th or the morning of Thursday, October 31st from 8:20-8:40am. The pumpkin may have a safer journey if they are not brought to school on the bus.  If you could add a tea-light to the center of your pumpkin, it will add to a special effect when placed in the gym. Classes will tour the gym throughout the day to enjoy your efforts. Pumpkins MUST be picked up to go home by Thursday between 4:00 and 5:00pm. Any pumpkins left at school will be composted.
