Meet Mr. Pickles

Meet our new class pet, Mr. Pickles!  After participating in the democratic process, we finally came to a name!  It was an excellent chance to learn how to share our own ideas, listen to the ideas of others, and give constructive feedback!

What Makes a Great Book?

Please check out our first bulletin board that shares some of our favorite book titles and what makes them great choices!


Fall Landscapes




How Do Animals and Humans Survive and Thrive?




We recently started our first unit in Science.  With the help of Ms. Bell, our Teacher Librarian, we will be learning about "How Animals and Humans Survive and Thrive".  This big idea incorporates the Grade 4 Cluster of Habitats and Communities and the Grade 5 Cluster, Maintaing a Healthy Body. We will be doing some activities as a whole class and some activities in smaller groups lead by the teachers. 

Here are some snapshots from our work today!






Great team work, everyone!

A Year In Review

Dear Room 4 Students and Parents,
What a great 10 months it has been! I have had the most amazing students of my career this year.  We have learned and shared and grown together as a real family.
Some of my favourite memories include carving jack-o-lanterns for halloween, making tipis at the Forks, and snapping photos at the zoo. 
When I look back to September, I can remember being excited for school to start.  I had both old and new faces working in my class together this year, so I was really looking forward to making the learning fresh and fun.
All in all it has been an amazing year, and I am so thankful to have had such an amazing group of kids to work with.  I wish you all nothing but the best and I hope you won't forget to visit.  It has really been an absolute pleasure teaching each and every one of you!
♥, Mrs. Steinhoff

Below is a preview of a slideshow I have created that includes many memories from this school year. 

I hope you enjoy!
