Monday Jan. 11

What a great start to the week. The children all worked really hard today. They were given a new independent science assignment today that they have until Feb. 12 to complete. Most of this work will be completed in class, although the final project will have to be worked on at home too. I think it is going to be a fun one, have your child tell you about it!

This week they all have the same spelling list to get them used to using the vocabulary that they will see with their science projects over the coming weeks. The words are: crank, effort, pulley, force, friction, fulcrum, gear, gravity, inertia, incline, kinetic, lever, linear, load, oscillating, potential, screw, wedge, axle, reciprocating.

Homework tonight:

• Home reading
• Study spelling
• Yr. 4 Math worksheets
• Extra clothes for tomorrow - they are going sledding for gym and are bound to get wet in these conditions!
• Comment on the blog! At some point this week I would like all children to leave a comment so that I know people are checking in!

Have a great night!
