 Good afternoon!

Popcorn orders were sent home with those that ordered them. Pictures went swimmingly today! All your children looked wonderful!

In Music, we continued to work on learning the notes and the staff. We will move on to more engaging items in the next class. 

We read another chapter of Thirst and discussed what we have learned so far in the novel.

In Math, we reviewed what an equation was and how to write one. We also practiced our basic facts by doing the practice questions at the beginning of class. 


In Writing, we worked on taking a basic sentence and elaborating it to be more specific and use the information that we gathered yesterday about our senses and autumn to make the sentence better. We will continue to work on this tomorrow. 

We continued to work on learning how to be kind and resolving problems/conflicts that may occur at school. We presented our skits to the class today.

In Social, the students wrote a Show what you know about the Canadian provinces and territories of Canada. We will be reading the book Eh? to Zed: A Canadian ABeCedarium and do a Canadian Scattergories game to identify different parts and pieces of Canada. We will then create Word Clouds in the shape of maple leaves with all the students words. 

I hope you have a great 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...
