 Good afternoon Families!

Reminder tomorrow is Picture Day! Dress your best. Our pictures are in the afternoon. 

This morning in PE we practiced all of our basketball skills. From shooting, to passing, to dribbling and more! It was fun and engaging. 

In Writing, we are talking about making generic boring statements in to elaborative and creative ones to add more to our stories. So we discussed the topic of Autumn. I got the students to go around and write down their ideas of the five senses during Autumn. We then discussed how to make some of their topics and ideas blossom into more elaborative detail. We will be practicing tomorrow. 




In Math, we did our four questions. Please continue to practice all the basic facts (adding (with regrouping), subraction (with borrowing), multiplication and division) at home with your child. It will help build their fluency! We reviewed algebraic equations and then they worked on practicing them. We will review tomorrow what an equation looks like. 


We read another chapter of Thirst today. I got the students to write in their visual journals and focus on important things in the book. There is a list in the picture. 



In Makerspace, the students were to be creative and create a trap to capture a scorpion that they saw when they were walking in the desert. 



In Health, students reviewed the difference between the four different peer problems that can occur. They then divided themselves up into groups to rehearse a skit that they will present to the class. The skits include a problem that is happening at school and the students have to act it out and then add the process of how to solve the problem. 

Lastly, in Science, it was their last opportunity as a group to complete and work on their posters about the different wetland zones and the animals and their adaptations. 


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 ...

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...
