Assignments Due and Test Friday

Most students have finished the Socials and Novels homework, but there were a few that needed a little more time.

1. Socials  – complete the map of Canada labeling the provinces and oceans

2. Novels – Chap. 8 Cricket in Times Square

There has been no math homework this week because we have been using our math time to practice/review for the FSA exam. The students were practicing on the field tests online and we have also been working through the questions as a class.

The grade 4’s will be completing the government mandated exam called the FSA (Foundation Skills Assessment) during the first couple weeks of February. There are two basic components to the test: Numeracy and Literacy (Reading comprehension and writing). We have been practicing a little in class. Two parts of the exam are totally online. There are practice versions online. Click the link below to try the practice exams:
