Newsletter for Grade 3/4

SKATING: Our class will have the opportunity to go skating on our school rink every
Thursday in February (weather permitting). A reminder that helmets are required.
What are we learning about?
Mathematics- We are exploring Multiplication and Division with
an early emphasis on understanding the big idea that the
different math operations are related to one another.
Social Studies- We will be starting historical studies.
Timelines for Grade 3 include Colonial Canada and timelines
for Grade 4 include early societies like Medieval Europe and
Ancient Greece.
Religion- Februarys focus is theological virtue of Love. We will
be portraying biblical parables for drama.
Arts- Mrs.Fisher will continue to visit us weekly. In term 1, she
taught Drama and Dance. In term 1, she will be teaching Visual
Arts and Music. I will switch from focussing on Visual Arts to a
focus on Drama for term 2.
