Welcome to March!

Dear Families, 

Welcome to March ! It seems like not too long ago I was writing to you about February. This month has gone by super fast as the Chung Stars have been busy learning and investigating many new units in our studies.  

As Term 1 came to end mid-February, students have been reviewing their own strengths and areas in need for improvement. I encourage families and students to have a conversation to discuss strategies of how your child will achieve their goals and how the family and the school can support them. I am proud of all the effort all the Chung Stars are putting into Grade 4. I look forward to continue working with you and your child as we enter Term 2 of Grade 4! 

In this class update newsletter, you will find important information about our class and the big ideas in our learning.

As always, if you any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school or write me a note in your child’s agenda

Looking forward to another exciting month of learning, 

Ms. Chung :)
