Upcoming Science Test & Halloween Party!

Just a reminder that Monday afternoon we will be having our Halloween party!  Students can bring their own drink if they feel the need.  Again, thanks to those in advance who are bringing food!  It is PJ day at school that day and students have the option of getting dressed in their school-appropriate costume after lunch.

Also, we will be having a science test on "Habitats & Communities" on Wednesday, Nov. 2.  We have been working on a study guide this week to review concepts and are correcting it this afternoon.  Grade 4 is a transition for students in the way that they are introduced to more formal tests such as this.  There are not many tests throughout the year, but your support in encouraging them to approach it positively is appreciated.  Tests are an opportunity for students to "show what they know."  They are not meant to try to trick them, as only concepts that we have studied will be on the test!

Students are also reminded to keep tracking their home reading minutes as there only 7 more weeks until they are due.

I don't know why I feel the need to share, but please know that I am actually not burning the midnight oil when I send out a blog!  I have sent the last few right after school or during the day, but for some reason a notice isn't sent out through email until the wee hours of the night.  Sorry!
