IXL MATH

Our class now has a one month trial subscription to IXL a wonderful resource for every kind of math question. Each student received two copies of their IXL username and password to use here at the school and at home.

Today in the lab we will have a chance to check out the Place Value questions of the site.

Let's find some new Gym games!

Room 209's blog had posted a link to this Youtube channel - PhysEdGames. It's a Youtube channel all about recommending gym games for schools to try out. Take a look at some of the videos posted and choose one game that YOU think we should try as a class. 

After choosing a game, please post a comment below explaining the name of the game you would like to play and why you think it would be a good game for us to try here at Churchill. I already have some great ideas for our next trip to the gym!

Terry Fox

Today our class will be heading to Dovercourt for our chance to participate in the National School Run Day. 

Watch the video below and post a comment about your thoughts on Terry Fox.

The Slithergadee

The Slithergadee

Oh, the Slithergadee
Has come out of the sea.
He'll catch all the others,
But he won't catch me.

No, you won't catch me,
You old Slithergadee.
You'll catch all the others
But you wo---

Run Fox Run

This is a song that we heard in class. It is called Run Fox Run. In the background of the song you can hear the sound of Terry Fox's footsteps. (Step Step Run)

Here at Churchill we are trying to raise more money for the Terry Fox foundation and cancer research. Please bring in your donations soon.

 Run Fox Run

You gave us a dream as big as our land
A mountain of hope from a humble man
Chasing a cure one mile at a time
Facing home you would smile,
Take a breath and hit your stride

Come on run Fox run
Into our hearts
You can run Fox run, run, run
Into our hearts

A marathon a day
Through the wind and rain
You believed in a miracle
Beyond the pain
Now there's unfinished business
And we're racing the clock
For today and tomorrow
We can't rest til' the hurting stops

Come on run Fox run
Into our hearts
You can run Fox run, run, run
Into our hearts

Your spirit runs farther and stronger each day
Helping us to go the distance and to keep the faith

Come on run Fox run
Into our hearts
You can run Fox run, run, run
Into our hearts

Great Math Website

Hello Class!
With all the computer problems here at the school, we have not had much of an opportunity to use our class blog yet this year.

I wanted to post a link to a great math website so that you will be able to access it from home or from the lab here at school. Take a look at some of the Basic Operations and Mixed Operations math games here and post a comment about what you think!

Welcome to grade 4

Hello class!
