Highlights of our week ... so far:

This week we did some learning about math with cards.  We practiced multiplication by "Splat" math.  The same day we made a Christmas wish where we have a class wish on a star and an individual wish on red or green paper.  Then we put it together to make a chain connected to a star, like a shooting star!  WHOOOOOO! - Khushi


Some of us kept working on our Creepy Crawly Village. - Ivana



We continued working on our autobiographies. - Sarah





Students are using this checklist to help them to self-edit the middle of their autobiography.
I have checked that my middle:
  • contains the middle events of my life
  • has detail and description
  • COPS
    • Capitals (“I”, beginning of a sentence, proper nouns)
    • Organization (the order makes sense, split the writing into paragraphs)
    • Punctuation (period, commas, question marks, exclamation marks, quotation marks, apostrophe)
    • Spelling (make sure to ask if you are unsure of how to spell something)
  • has a variety of sentence beginners
  • has sequence words
7-11 gave us the money for our playground! - Athryn

Scientist in the Classroom and Field Trip

We had a fantastic morning learning all about plants and photosynthesis.  Scientist in the Classroom Penny was our guest and she had us dissect a flower to show the different parts, took us through an experiment that showed how photosynthesis occurred, stations that taught us all about plants, and even showed us how they recycle paper!!  We are very excited for our field trip to Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park tomorrow, and we’re sure it will be a fantastic day of learning!   It is forecast to be a beautiful day, with a day-time high of 25ºC.   Students will be outside for most of the day, travelling around the park.   With this in mind, please send your child with: -        a backpack -        light layers that can easily be removed and packed away inside a backpack.   It will likely be cooler in the morning and warm up as the day goes on. -  ...
