March 23- 27

Dear Parents,

At this point in time, Mme Allyson and I are waiting for the school district to give us the permission to launch our Google Classroom learning platform. We appreciate your continued patience in this regard.

To facilitate student' online learning, there will only be one Google Classroom for all grade 4 students at St. Luke. Currently students are only to accept the invitation to join the classroom. We ask that they DO NOT complete any of the assignments until further notice.

To access their @learn account, please refer to the email with step-by-step instructions for logging on. This email was sent to parents last week.

Please remind your child that the comments section of the Google Classroom is not to chat with each other. This is only meant to ask the teachers questions about assignments. We are being inundated with student comments that are unnecessary.

While we wait to begin our learning journey with the Google Classroom, I have compiled a list of projects and assignments that students can work on for this week. Please read below for more detail.

Reading: Students are encouraged to continue reading 20 minutes per day in each language (English and French). Students are always invited to read a french book and submit a résumé de lecture in google.docs. to my Google account.

French:  If interested, students could write a spring story including their kindergarten buddy as the main character. Story should have one paragraph for the introduction, three paragraphs for the development and one paragraph for the conclusion. The story should be written in Google.docs and sent to my @learn.cssd.ab.ca account. They can use St. Patrick and Easter vocabulary such as leprechaun, clover, pot of gold, chocolate eggs, bunnies, etc. 

They are invited to submit one journal entry in French. This is to replicate the "journal personnel" that they were already doing in class. Students can submit their entries via Google Docs.

Math: I will be sending a math project : L'horaire de ma journée" in all parents' emails.

Science: For this week, students can read the information on "la poulie" and complete the activities in the “système de poulies” booklet. A hard copy of this booklet has been placed in their bins.
