Week of October 27- 31
We had a spooky, silly Halloween celebration this Friday as we earned enough points in class to watch a movie. We decided together that we would watch Home Alone 2. Students brought snacks and we had a great time! We also had an assembly on Friday and got to see everyone's costumes. There were many princess, Mario, dinosaur, and ghost costumes. What a fun week!
Week of October 20-23
We had another short week this week because there was a Pro-D Day on Friday. Students had a day to rest and teachers had a chance to learn more about how to be a teacher! This week we continued to learn about estimation and we started a project about how to run a food truck. For Language Arts, we learned about organizing paragraphs to make it easier for a reader to follow along. For Science, we started learning about the Digestion system and how our food gets digested. We also had photo retakes on Thursday. We learned a lot this week!
Week of October 14-17
This week, we had a short week. On Monday we had time to celebrate Thanksgiving. We did some art about the fall season using fall images and colours. We also started collages using paper cut outs inspired by Henri Matisse. For Science, we started learning about different human body systems. We are learning about the Respiratory System. For Math, we are learning about estimating and whole numbers. For gym, we are continuing our unit about Volleyball. We have been working on various skills like serving, volleying, and bumping. For Language Arts this weekend, students are writing a biography of one of their classmates.
Week of October 6-10
We had a full week this week. We started our new Math unit about Whole Numbers. We worked on Confederation timelines for Social Studies. We also decorated our class with Halloween decorations to make it spookier! For Art, we started working on Henri Matisse inspired collages.
On another note, the weather is getting colder and rainier. Please make sure to bring an extra set of clothes and also a pair of inside shoes to change into. Also, please remember that Monday is the Thanksgiving holiday. There is no school on Monday.
Week of September 29 - October 3
This week wizzed by! We worked on banners for Social Studies of each province and territory. We worked on our marble mazes for ADST. We worked on our Million Dollar Project for Math. Students were allowed to spend one million dollars and choose what they spend it on. For Language Arts, we are working on letters about a change that we want to see in our schools or communities. On Tuesday, we had a holiday for Truth and Reconciliation. We had a chance to reflect on the history of Canada and how we can improve the future. On Friday, we also had individual picture day. Everyone looked great! I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Week of September 22-25
Welcome back to school! We are well into our third week in our new class. I am so excited to get to meet everyone this year and to make some great memories. This week we had a short week. I was able to meet with most of the parents on Wednesday and Thursday. This Friday we had a Pro-D day. We worked on a few projects this week like our marble maze ADST projects. We also learned some French numbers. For Writing, we've been working on creating stories about waking up on another planet. Next week, we have an upcoming math test about patterns and equations on Monday. It will also be a short week next week since there will be a Truth and Reconciliation holiday on Tuesday. I look forward to a great year!
