As
I am writing this, everyone is getting very excited about the
Christmas performance tonight. We had our final rehearsal yesterday,
and it all looks good to go. I hope you enjoy the show. If you
weren't already aware, it is worth noting that the Grade 4 play was
entirely written by the Grade 4 students. I'm sure you will be
impressed by their efforts.
In
the classroom, our Math lessons have been focused on geometry, and we
have been learning how to use our protractors. Friday's lesson has
been about triangles – a very important shape in Math, Science, and
even in nature.
Our
Reading & Writing Workshops have been divided among a study of
verbs in Language Arts, making inferences, generalisations and
predictions in Reading, and how to effectively keep a journal of
books we are reading during D.E.A.R. and extracurricular reading
time.
In
Social Studies, we have been investigating how cities grow. We will
continue this study next week, and compare the growth of the American
Northeast with cities such as Tokyo, Taipei, and Hsinchu.
Next
week will be a very short one, finishing on Wednesday at 12:30.
Please note that all children will go to lunch at this time, and be
dismissed at 1:00pm. Just before lunch, we will hold our Christmas
gift exchange in class. Please refer to Wednesday's blog entryregarding the gift exchange.
Ahead
of next week, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a
merry Christmas, and a safe and happy new year. If you are
travelling, please be safe and enjoy your trip.
I'll
see you all tonight!
