Multiplication? By Garrick

Multiplication may be difficult for some Gr. 4's, but don't be scared. Here is an example, 2 x 2 = ?
To get the answer, you need to do repeated addition (2 + 2 = 4). So, 2 x 2 = 4.

Math, Art and Peter Pan!

This week in math, we had a lesson on multiplication which involved Paul Klee's artwork. Mr. B showed us some artwork from Paul Klee and then had us use a grid paper to do our own art. It was very fun! Here are some pictures of the artwork.

Paul Klee's Once Emerged in the Gray of Night

Also this week, on Friday, we went to watch some of our classmates in the Divisional Theatre Musical Production of Peter Pan at Westwood Collegiate! A big applause goes out to Katie, Grace, Naomi and Kaylee for a wonderful job. We also got to see some former Heritage students at the show. It was fantastic!

Buddies

Every Day 6, during period 5, we have buddies with the Kindergarten class in Room 3. Sometimes, we go just to socialize and team build by playing with them, and sometimes we go to read, learn and teach them. This week we all learned about Hannah Taylor, the founder of the Ladybug Foundation. After learning about Hannah, we read books to our buddies. My buddy wasn't there, so I read with my friend instead. It was fun!

Narnia Read Aloud

This week at school we started reading one of the Chronicles of Narnia books called, "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe." We started to read it on Monday, but I've been looking forward to reading it for a while now. I want to know what's on the other side of the wardrobe. Some of us have never read the book or seen the movie. We are doing a novel study with the book, which includes multiple activities. It's been really fun so far!

Happy New Year! Welcome 2015!

Hello all,

It's the start of a new year and we are ready to hit it full throttle as we start some new programs in Room 14, including a weekly blog section which the students will be writing themselves! Along with the new blog postings will also be a revised and updated, "What's Up! Heritage," which the students in Room 14 will be taking on every week. I look forward to some exciting learning and new ideas this year and can't wait to continue working with these students to help them grow into fabulously awesome citizens!

A New Year means........
