 Good afternoon! 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Reminder that it is Picture Day on Wednesday October 19, 2022. Our pictures will take place in the afternoon. Dress to impress!


Today, the students continued basketball in PE and had a blast. 

In Music, we continued to work on the staff and today we learned about the notes between the staff. Students will continue to work on this throughout the week. 


We started reading Thirst today! We read two chapters and connected our knowledge of India and Canada during Social today. We discussed what students thought about what it looked like to be poor and rich. We then discussed that not all the qualities of being poor match that, some of the qualities match that of being rich. Ask you child to explain their connection to the book based on this discussion. 



In Writing today, we discussed the importance of making sure we are being specific when we are describing and writing our stories so that it can expand our stories to make them longer. 

 

In Math, we are starting to do a math routine where I will give them four questions to answer to help build their fluency with their basic facts at the beginning of every math block for 15mins. We then continued to learn about algebra and how to solve word problems with this concept. We will continue this throughout the week. 



This afternoon, we started a Health topic on conflict and how to resolve conflict that happens at school. We are going to continue doing this throughout the week and throughout the school year. Mrs. Docherty came in this morning to talk to us about how to work through our feelings throughout the school day and to make sure that students are telling teachers and staff about the problems going on at school. We are here to help!




I hope you have a lovely evening!

Miss. Hillier

 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 ...

 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...
