We went outside for Free Writing on Wednesday.
Because the weather was so incredibly beautiful for November in Calgary (20 degrees!) we celebrated by going outside on Tuesday to play and enjoy the sun and warmth.
In music we have been practicing the xylophones and practicing singing for the assembly. Mrs. Gunderson has been teaching us tips about how to be better singers. It is important to drop our jaws when we are signing so that we can hit higher notes, and to sit up straight. She also told us how important breathing is when we are singing and told us to lay on our backs and put a book on our tummy and start breathing and see the book go up and down.
We are having a field trip next week! It is important that we bring back our field trip forms ASAP! We are going to the Mount Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to watch Peter and the Wolf. Mrs. Gunderson set up this field trip for us and we are so excited! The grade fours feel extra lucky because they got to go on a similar field trip last year. Thank you for taking us Mrs. Gunderson!
We convinced Mr. Southworth to help us with a cool photo idea that required him to get really high up on the playground and take our picture. We made a human peace sign to go at the end of our video for the assembly. Miss Klem showed us how to model for the camera and gave us very professional, creative and lovely posing tips.
We continued to learn about catching and throwing in the gym. We are still doing basketball. We have been improving our skills in dribbling and shooting this week. To practice our dribbling we go around the gym dribbling our basketballs and if we are looking down at our ball Mr. Collins will steal our ball! For a warm up in gym we have been playing Zombie Tag "grrrarrgg!" and running laps to get our blood flowing and our bodies ready for exercising. Mr. L joined us in gym on Wednesday when Mr. Collins was away.
This week we have been collecting non-perishable items for the Veterans. We have been graphing our collections everyday this week and we are very close to meeting our goal of 50 items.
In math we started a pre-test for addition and subtraction. We finished up our number sense unit with rounding and learned a cool rap to help us remember the rounding rules. Check it out!

In science we are getting close to finishing editing our imovies! Miss Kolb and Miss Klem are very excited to get to watch them and show the other classes in our school how to use the bins properly.
Until next week,
Love,
