Secret Santa
The holiday season will soon be
upon us. We know that this time
of year can be challenging for
some families and we would like
to extend an invitation to those
who
would
like
to
help
support someone less fortunate. If
you are interested in playing the
role of secret Santa, or donating
to a family, please let me know.

Mr. Oliveira/ Ms. Frank
In grade 4 we are finishing our rough draft of our November story in
Language Arts. I am also doing some reading comprehension stories to
help the kids with reading and understanding concepts.
In social studies we are finishing up our First Nations unit and Mrs. Hanson
will be coming in to do a technology project with the kids. Next week in
Socials Studies we will be learning about Capitals and Provinces. French
has started for grade 4 students and we are having a great time
learning vocabulary and speaking French. Math is going well and in
Science the kids are working on an animal project presentation. Have a
happy great weekend!
