Dear Parents and Guardians,

We had a very productive day today! At the start of the day, the students worked with a partner to further their oral language skills by sharing their favourite experience from the weekend. They then completed a journal entry and illustrated a picture that matched what they had shared with their partner.





In math, we continued to practice creating and naming AB and ABB patterns. Have your child use actions to demonstrate each type of pattern for you. This afternoon, we read a book about bullying and discussed what to do if you are being bullied or if you see someone else being bullied. We also discussed how to treat everyone with kindness. Please take the time tonight or over the next few days to discuss the emotions associated with bullying with your child. Science was very exciting for us today! We were able to participate in a fun science experiment. Mr. Dyck even came to watch!!


We used vinegar, baking soda and food colouring to mix colours today. Ask your child what colours they saw being created from the "foam."

At the end of the day, the students worked on spelling our colour words and practiced stating the order of the rainbow. Ask your child to show you the "primary" and "secondary" pattern we found in the rainbow.


Reminders:
  • Terry Fox Run and Orange Shirt Day on Friday
  • We are collecting "Toonies for Terry"
  • If you wish to order a fun lunch it is due by October 7. You can order from: www.healthyhunger.ca

Dear parents and guardians, Sorry for the long delay in putting up a new post. This time of year is very busy! As always, our students have had many awesome learning experiences in the last couple of weeks. In language arts, we... - worked on our journals (students should be able to ... write 8-10 sentences, edit for proper use of periods and capitals, spell their sight words correctly, add description instead of just listing events, and use juicy descriptive words). - continued our literacy centres (read with me, buddy read, phonics books, reading comprehension pages, iPads and writing). The students are always excited for literacy centres and are showing a love of reading already. A love for reading is SO important! - wrote our letters to home. At this point in time, you should be seeing your child attempt all of the things that are listed under expectations for journal writing. - finished our second class chapter book called "Tigers at Twilight". Ask your child abo...

Dear Parents/Guardians, Inline Skating : Our class will be skating on  March 20, 21 and 22 . If you wish, you may send your child's helmet to school on Monday, March 19 and it can stay in our classroom for the week. At this point in time, we do not require parent volunteers as the Leadership Club from Kenneth D. Taylor will be supporting students with getting their gear on.     Request: We are going to be starting our science unit on Building Things in the next few weeks. It is a really fun unit, but it requires lots of materials. Therefore, we are requesting your help!   If you have any of the following items that are empty and clean, please send them with your child to school.   ·        Kleenex boxes ·        Cereal boxes ·        Yogurt cups ·        Shoe boxes ·        Toilet p...

Dear Parents and Guardians, Here is an update from the CBE regarding the winter weather warning: We have had a jam packed week of learning so far! We are continuing to work on our sight words. Seeing as we are about half way through the year, students should be able to recite at least 50 of the first 100 words quickly (2 seconds or less) . Students are making great progress in this area and it is really helping them with their reading and writing. One Monday, we worked on our journals. Here are some examples: We began story writing this week in regards to our missing gingerbread people (that have all been found!).  As a class, we worked on an introduction. Like good writers to, we then went back and edited our work for proper punctuation as well as re-worded things that did not make sense. Our class is really focusing on independently making edits to their work by circling the word that they want to edit and writing the edit above. We have...
