This Week and Homework

You'll notice a lot of permission forms coming home this week!  Here's a roundup:

On Friday, we're going to see a play ($2)
Also on Friday, we have a soccer game down the road
Next Friday is our field trip to Sandspit

That's it for now, but I'm sure I'm probably missing something!

A reminder that students should keep up on reading in French at home.  We're reading Gilles Tibo books this week.  We've actually worked through all of our math units, so now it's time to build our "foundation."  For the next two week we'll have some math worksheets on the basics, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Criteria Checklist for the Museum Box Presentation 

Due Friday the 14^th

Students will be presenting a collection of items of their choice through the use of a museum box.  A museum box is simply a box in which one keeps memorabilia or collections. In the class novel “Wonderstruck” by Brian Selznick, the main character had a museum box, and each item led to a snapshot in time or a story that is important to him.
To make a connection to this book, and to work on their oral presentation skills, students will be presenting their museum boxes on February 14^th.  Students have had the opportunity to present in groups, and so now they will have the chance to take what they have learned, and put it into practice on their own.
The following is the criteria that the students and I have decided is needed for a grade 4 level oral presentation.  Students are encouraged to organize their museum boxes this week which will allow them to practice the “stories” they will tell about each item. Note that this is not a written assignment; rather we are working on public speaking skills.
Any questions you can contact me at:  mrroy@edu.pe.ca
Thank you, Mme Marie-Anne J

• The presenter introduces the subject of their museum box.
• The presenter shows the objects while speaking.
• The presenter speaks with expression, and clearly to keep our interest.
• The presenter looks at the audience while speaking.
• The presenter stays on subject and is organized.
• The presenter keeps the stories/information interesting yet not long.
• The presenter finishes with a concluding statement.
• The presenter speaks for 2-5 minutes.
