Welcome to our class blog!
I no longer post here very often, but we do use it as a resources and to access bookmarked links to a variety of websites.
Please see what we’re up to on our Twitter feed: @MrsSkwarasClass
Tonight’s homework sometimes catches parents off-guard. Students have learned a new subtraction strategy that can help them when needing to subtract from a large number ending in 2 or more zeros. We practiced many times in class this morning and students are asked to practice it tonight for homework. In case the “at home help” section on the homework sheet isn’t clear enough, here is another example for you:

The construction fun continues!
Cardboard Wanted!!!
As many of the students may have told you, we will be putting our recycling skills to the test as we attempt to create another famous BES Annual Recycled Arcade next Friday afternoon. Please send any cardboard (big or small) to school so that we have all the materials we need to be as imaginative as we are.
Although they will be making their plans and designs this week, the students will begin working on their projects next Tuesday with the goal to present them to the rest of the school next Friday afternoon (All work will be done at school).
If any parents would like to come in and help us out, we would love to have you next Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday afternoon from 1:45pm to 2:45pm.
Grade Fours are learning to tell time on a variety of different clocks: digital and analog as well as in military time (24 hour clock). Check out the game “Clockworks” under Student Websites (or click image below) for more at-home practice!
What a wonderful day climbing Tunnel Mountain with all grade four students. Well done, everyone!

Sadly, I am having some technical difficulties uploading photos this evening… I will continue to persist and hope to have this page updated within the next day or so. Please check back soon! 😉
Students were busy this afternoon sorting through their lunch waste — which items will decompose most quickly?!
