First Two Days!

Good Afternoon!


It has been lovely getting to know your children this week. They all are wonderful!


On Thursday, we got to know each other through Friendship/First Day Bingo around the classroom. We also discussed our rules and expectations that we wanted in the classroom and around the school. We also created goals that the students wanted to achieve in school and throughout the school year. The last thing we did on Thursday is we started an art project. We coloured with crayon the background in a pattern and then painted over the crayon with arcylic paint!


On Friday, we started writing in our gratitude journals, which is to help us gain understanding about what we are grateful and thankful for each and every day. We will continue to do this until about November. The class also did a pre-spelling assessment so that I can get to know them and where they are with regards to spelling and how I can adjust my teaching for them to learn new words! All the grade 5 classes went outside together today to bond and get to know each other by playing Capture the Flag! They had a blast! We continued to work on our Art project today by trying to etch into the arcylic paint to create designs and pictures with the crayon underneath. We are not quite comeplete but I will send a photo once they are complete! The last thing the students did today was PE and they learned to play fairly by playing tag games!


I hope you have a lovely long weekend !

 Good afternoon parents and guardians! I hope you had a lovely day! We did! A reminder that  there is no school on Friday and Monday for the long weekend, the next day of school will be Tuesday October 11 for our field trip! On the morning of Tuesday October 11 we are going on our walking field trip to the Country Hills Storm Pond. We will be doing activities at the pond with Inside Education connected to our wetland unit in Science. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather, as it may be chilly and windy that morning. Please make sure your child has an easy snack to eat outside and a water bottle.  The students had a blast in PE. We played a game called End Zone Trappers.  On go, students were to try to eliminate the other team by sliding bean bags on the ground and hitting someone’s foot.  If it hits their foot, they must go to the other teams side and stand inside the end zone (similar to bench ball).  The only way to get free and return to ...

Students had a blast! 2 of the teams start behind the pylons with soccer balls Their job is to try and pass it (from behind the pylons) into the middle and knock over one of the bowling pins If someone knocks over a bowling pin they first go pick it back up, then they grab a bean bag from the side and add it to their black bin (these are their points) Key Reminders: Use the inside of your foot Step (beside the ball)   à   Kick (with the inside of your foot)   à   Follow-through (towards your target) 1 team will be standing in the middle with the bowling pins This team will act as the goalies Their job is to try and block the bowling pins from getting hit They can use their hands or feet since they are the goalies   à   Encourage them to be in an active stance (knees bent, eyes up, ...

 Good Afternoon Families, Hopefully you are all staying warm!  Today was PJ Day! Today in PE, the students played Mission Impossible. There was a story that went with today's Mission Impossible:  Because of how cold it is, Santa’s reindeer can’t fly to deliver the presents Because of this, you (the elf, the student) must make it through the snow storm and deliver the presents yourself *Each student must take one present from the crate and bring it with them through the obstacle course *If they or their present touches any of the equipment then they just restart. In Writing, the students finished their stories. They then participated in holiday writing prompts.  In Math, the students had to use their addition knowledge of decimals to find out the price of the gifts during the 12 days of Christmas. They did this in groups to help expand their knowledge. They continued on this from yesterday. We did our Hot Chocolate Science experiment. The students learned about the pe...
