MSD- Wasteless Lunches

Dear parents,

 

Over the past couple of weeks in science, students have been learning about the waste in our world. A large part of this unit is on the effects of garbage on our environment. For this reason, we are starting a wasteless lunch program in both grade 4 classes called MSD (mercredi sans déchets/ Wednesdays without Waste), beginning on October 19^th. We are encouraging the children to bring lunches that include very little to no waste (i.e., tupperware containers, reusable drink bottles etc.).

Throughout the next month students will be tracking all the waste they produce and at the end of the month we will summarize the results. Our goal is to make students aware of just how much garbage can accumulate in a short period of time. If you could help ensure your child brings a wasteless lunch on Wednesdays for the months of October/ November, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support!

 

Mme Allyson and Mme Élaine

**Students must also remember to read in French 20 minutes per day, 4 days a week for their reading program. Due to the holidays, reading logs from last week will be due on Tuesday. **

 

Math: We are continuing with our unit on numeration. During the week, students will write an evaluation on classifying numbers, such as in Venn diagrams. We will also be starting addition this week, looking at estimating sums.
