Dear Parents and Guardians,

We had a very exciting day today! We had Richard Young the Magician come into our class and teach us all about our senses! He showed us some very cool tricks and had us all amazed! He taught us about the human senses and how we can protect our vision, hearing, and sense of smell. He also explained that different animals rely more heavily on different senses and that it impacts the way that they live.

Ask your child how they can protect their vision, hearing, and sense of smell, and how other animals use their senses differently than humans.

Here are some pictures from our day:









Reminders:

- We are collecting empty wrapping paper rolls for a project. If you have any left over, please send them to school. We are also collecting empty Pringles containers for another project :).

- Please ensure you are sending your child to school with appropriate winter clothing such as gloves, toques, scarves, snowpants, boots, and a warm winter jacket.

- Wednesday, January 17th and Thursday, January 18th are Popcorn Days. Bags of popcorn are sold for $2 each.

- Friday, January 19th is a Fun Lunch day for those who registered.

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...
