Home Reading


Many students have been forgetting their home reading... Home reading books should be brought back to school at least 2 or 3 times every week. Every students should be spending 10-15 minutes each night reading.

Here are some ways to practice: 
- in the car 
- at the hockey rink 
- waiting for your brother or sister at their activities 
- in bed before you go to sleep 
- at the kitchen table while your cook dinner 
- any time in the evening 
- in the morning before school 
- right after school! 

Set a timer for 10-15 minutes. It's amazing how fast it will go by! 10 minutes a day means 70 minutes every week... Every minute counts!

Warm Feet for the Street Campaign

Hi everyone,  I have had some of you ask about the Warm Feet for the Street Campaign that the Ambassador Club students are organizing and that all grade 4 classes are participating in. If you would like to make a donation we would love to take it. We are accepting donations until Dec. 13 so that the students in the Ambassador Club have time to stuff the socks. We have had a generous parent donate approximately 90 pairs of socks so we are needing stuff to put in them. Please click on the link for items the Mustard Seed accepts for this campaign and items they don’t accept. Thank you in advance for your continued support of our initiatives. This is a great way for our students to give back to our larger community and provide some warmth for those less fortunate this holiday season.   Here is the link should you wish more information as well as a wish list for donations: http://www.theseed.ca/assets/files/pdf/christmas_project/Warm%20Feet.pdf Thanks,  The ...

We talked about how many ones can actually go in the ones place (no more than 9!) and why we have to change them out to the tens when it becomes 10. We practiced creating numbers to 50 today using the ones and tens blocks. Check out some of our work!  Making the number 10 Making the number 17 Making 22
