 Hi parents,

We had a great day today. In the morning, the students made Valentines Cards for their younger buddies. They wrote metaphors and similes to send kind, meaningful messages to their buddies. 

In math, we reviewed quadrilaterals, triangles, and polygons. The grade 4 students also learned how to use the 'partial products' strategy to solve 2-digit multiplication problems. It's a pretty cool approach - almost as quick as the standard algorithm, and it helps kids build connections to place value.

In the afternoon, we learned more about the Metis of Alberta. We had a great discussion about the Metis flag in our school foyer. 

We also had music, and more work period time. 

Tomorrow is Valentines Day!

Just a reminder we are sadly not allowed to do treats anymore. And, if you are sending Valentines with your child, please make sure there are enough for all the students (22)!

Tomorrow also features:

-Geometry Quiz 

-Spelling Quiz

-Family Dance

What a Wednesday!

Have a nice night,

Zac
