Grade 4
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are endless. Mother Teresa

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN GRADE FOUR . . .
In social studies, the Canadian province Powerpoint presentationsare finished! What a fantastic job the students did! The projects will be available for viewing by parents during our next parent/teacher/student conferences in April. More information on this shortly. In the meantime, I will put a couple onto this website for your viewing pleasure.
Father Massie will always be in our hearts!
The students wrote about other heroes in their lives. Here are a couple of pieces that were written by the students:
Uncle Brent
Uncle Brent is my hero because he is funny and makes me laugh! His guitar playing inspires me. He is very gentle with animals. He lives in the country and has two horses. In the winter we go to his house, and since he owns lots of open fields, we can make huge forts. He is my Godfather, and came to my First Communion. I love my uncle Brent. When we go to his house, we ride his horses. Their names are Jet and Boo.
Tata
My hero is my Tata (Grandfather). He is my dad's father. He is inspirational to me. Tata is inspirational to me because he is talented in cooking, storytelling, art and carpentry. He is also kind and generous, which is another reason why he is my hero. Every night that Tata comes over to take care of my sister and me, he stuns us with his amazing stories of his childhood. He's very enduring and doesn't give up, even in the hardest of situations. Some of my skill at drawing comes from him, because I've watched him draw and have become inspired.
