Dear Grade Four Families,
This past Wednesday, for Anti-Bullying Day, we talked about the issue of bullying, strategies of what they can do when faced with a bully, and to remember that God calls us to always love our neighbours as ourselves! I hope they learned some valuable lessons, and will always remember to treat each other with kindness and respect!
We have now completed the online portions of the FSA for Numeracy and Reading. This week, they will be working on their written responses in a booklet. The students will have 2 stories to read and 3 questions to answer. The students completed a practice on Google Classroom. They chose either Theme 1: How Things Work or Theme 2: Taking Care. I told the students that they must use the RACE strategy for answering these questions (Restate the question, Answer the question, Cite examples from the text and Explain their thinking). They should also include their own personal opinion or share a text to self or text to text connection. If you would like to get your child to do another practice, they are welcome to work on the other theme that they didn’t choose (This is optional).
