Team 4 Carr

Welcome to grade 4, or as we like to call it, "Team 4 Carr."  On one of our walls, we have portraits that were drawn by all the students that are in our class.  Beside these pictures, you will also find the title "Team 4 Carr."  Some of the things we have done this year so far include:

learn about our 5 class pets (4 fish and 1 gecko)
Made a blog post about the gecko's new home (see below)
We have our own laptops in the class and some of us started using them today
We were assigned class jobs (some of us don't have one yet)
We also have tables that have white-board sufaces so we can use dry erase markers on them.

These are just a few of the things we have done so far, and we are looking forward to new and exciting things in the future.

Have a good day!

Why Did People Settle in Saint John?

As we begin to explore the features of civilizations (Grade 5 Social Studies), we can take a closer look at Saint John and the history of its people.  Why did people settle here?  What did this region have to offer that other regions did not?  Follow these link to read about the history of Saint John, and put your learning into words on your sheet:

Our Gecko's New Tank

Today, we put our class gecko, Phoenix into a new terrarium. We needed to change the terrarium so that the gecko would have more space to move around.

 

Here is Phoenix moments before she moved to her new home.
