In math class, students are practising how to represent 4-digit numbers using the base-ten blocks. The goal is to represent numbers in a variety of ways. For example, if they take away a thousand block they need to replace it with 10 hundred-blocks, or if they take away a hundred block, they need to replace it with 10 10-blocks. Today, students got into groups to draw out their different models.

During the first week of school, the students completed a puzzle piece to showcase things that made them unique. Many of the students drew pictures of their talents, interests, family, pets and hobbies. I really enjoyed learning about all of the different students in our class. This puzzle is on display on our Religion board to remind us that we all "fit in" to our new class and that we are better when we work together.
I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of my new students and parents. I am so pleased to be teaching grade 4 this school year! I hope you had a restful and fun summer vacation. This summer I got to spend a lot of time with my 18 month old daughter Claire. We had so much fun visiting splash parks, wading pools and going to the beach. My husband and I also took Claire on her first camping trip...which she loved!! I can't wait to get to know all of my new students and their families. I look forward to all the exciting learning that we will share together throughout the year.
