Bonjour

Thank you for sending in your holiday photos! It looks like everyone had a great break. Today, we rehearsed a few sentences and  practiced explaining our photo to three different peers. Then students each presented their photo to the class, while I took videos. The videos are slowly making their way onto Iris. Tomorrow we will be writing about our photos.

Please return yesterday's home reading book for exchange tomorrow.

Your child is bringing home the goal he/she set with his/her grade 4 learning buddy today. Please take the time to review your child's goals and strategies.

Today we started our addition unit in Math. We did a pretest to see what we already know about addition. We need to learn:
-addition to 20
-understand and apply mental math to 18
-recall facts to 5
-how to problem solve with addition

We can use tools like: 100 chart, fingers, cubes, a number line, drawings
We can use strategies like: doubles, the inverse (5+7, 7+5), counting on (more to come)

Here is our problem of the day
