TUESDAY

Wow... what a fast day! This week seems to be flying by!
Today we got some new books out of the library, and we will be recording our reading logs starting tomorrow. Each student can fill in a line for every 15 minutes that they read.
We started our new units in phys ed (soccer), health (decision making) and art (colour theory) as well today.

HOMEWORK:
Practise spelling
Finish math questions #2,3,5 & 6

Have a great day!

MONDAY MADNESS

Welcome back to another fine week of school! We  started off the week today with spelling. Students do have some words to practice for Friday. In math we began our new unit on patterns. We had a bit of a shakey start, but I'm sure we'll get back into the swing of thinking about math soon! We also started a new unit in Science on Animals and their habitats, and we will be talking and reading about it in English Language Arts as well over the next several weeks.  In our Christian Ethics class today, we talked about what it means to be a Christian. We figured out that it has nothing to do with our parents, but that it came down to a personal relationship with God. We made some awesome "Wordless Bracelets" and students should be able to explain what they all mean.

HOMEWORK:
Spelling: go over words for test on Friday
Christian Ethics: Explain your bead bracelets to somebody

Looking forward to a fantastic week!

FRIDAY - 2nd day of School

Today was a very busy and fun day! We spent a lot of time talking about school rules and figuring out how our classroom is going to be this year. We also started our math and social units by working on math flash cards and making our classroom flag. This afternoon was really fun with art and gym. We started making animals for our Habitats and Communities unit in Science and decorating our notice board. For Gym we went out onto the field and did a bunch of relay races. What an excellent day!
I am  looking forward to another great and busy week on Monday!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Dear Parents

I am so excited to be one of the 2010- 2011 Grade 4 teachers this year, along with Mrs Barb Priebe! I have returned to the Saskatoon area after teaching for 3 years in Eston, SK and it is wonderful to be home in Prairie Spirit!

Our first Parent/ Teacher meeting is not until the evenings of November 24th and morning of November 25th. Please mark it on your calendars because it will be an important time to go over homework, grading, discipline and any concerns you or I might have. I am really looking forward to meeting you on that day, but I would be happy to meet with you before that if you would like.

In an effort to keep us all on the same page, I have a classroom blog, which you can access at <http://www.misstimmsgrade4.blogspot.com>. I will update this website at the end of every day, so that you can check on homework, assignments, and upcoming events. HOWEVER, it is vitally important that students use their day planners every day, as it is the best means of communication between you and I, and organization is an essential skill to learn for high school (and life!). I will be checking their agendas every day, and request your help with encouraging this.


Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns, and I will happily arrange a time to meet with you. You may either call the school or email me at carrie.timm@spiritsd.ca



Again, looking forward to getting to know you and your children this year!


Regards,
Carie Timm
