Dear Grade 4s......
I was so happy to be your guest teacher during Mr. Cotton's absence.
Some of us were successful in creating Google accounts, others were frustrated because their passwords were being declined.
Better luck in your next visit to the lab.

I look forward to sharing in your blogs.
Sounds exciting.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Mr. Bismilla

The Power of Words and Actions.

Welcome Grade 4s!

The central question for Grade 4 is: How do words and actions affect us?

The purpose of this blog is to explore the central question.

The audience is Grade 4 students, other students, teachers and anyone who finds it on the web (!).

Here are some guidelines for what makes a good post or comment.
A good post or comment :

  • is connected to the central question.
  • extends the ideas of the post. Maybe it does this by asking a question, making a connection, making an inference or adding new information.
  • uses full sentences and correct punctuation and spelling.

For your first post, answer this question. How have words and action affected you? Give a detailed example from your life.

At the end of your comment use the following codes to show that you have followed the guidelines.

con = My comment is connected to the central question.

ext = I have extended the ideas of the post.

fs = I have used full sentences and correct punctuation and spelling.
