Hola Grado 4
We hope you had an excellent weekend!

On Monday we have our office hours. Teachers will be available to support you at 2:30 on Google Meet.

On Fridays we will also have our “Café de Español” with Sra Davalos between 11-12 in order to practice oral Spanish.
We will be having a Google Meets this Friday at 1:30 pm with the whole class. 

On Tuesdays & Wednesdays we will have some small group time. You can find your time and group on Google Classroom. Please make sure to come to your Google Meet if you cannot make it please join another group.

If the time does not work just email your teacher at their @educbe.ca account. Some of you will have a different time in comparison to last week.

Every week we will have material for you to go through as well as assignments. You will be able to find them all on Google Classroom. Remember that you need to be respectful and follow the digital citizenship expectations!  Please go through the Google Presentation entitled “Grade 4 Weekly Schedule”

You will notice on the “stream” that there is very little you have to go through your classes for the information!

Remember that the work should take approximately 5 hours each week. When you are done with the assignments and you know you have done a good job, you can continue to read on Raz Kids, and do math prodigy for extra practice!
