Dear Parents, Today in class we reviewed Week 7 vocabulary. Homework tonight is vocabulary words 1 - 10 x 3, defs x 1. Special note: From 04/17 - 04/25, I will be in the United States. I will be giving out instructions for the oral exam before I go. Dear Parents, Kindly note that due to the long weekend next week, Grade 4 teachers have decided that we will adjust the Spring Schedule (page 3 of the communication book) slightly in order to ensure we cover The Horned Toad Prince section, as it will be part of the 2nd Monthly Exam. We will be moving the schedule down by a week. Changes are as follows: • Week 8 – 9 The Horned Toad Prince o Week 8 – no quiz will be given this week o Week 9 – a unit test will be given 4/12 • Week 10 – 11 What Jo Did The schedule will return to its regular format after week 11. If you need any additional clarity, please feel free to text or email. Kind regards, Teacher Ari
