 Good afternoon!

A reminder there is school tomorrow Friday October 21, 2022! 

In PE, the students are using their skills they learned about basketball to play 3 on 3 games in PE. They seemed to have a blast. 

In Writing, students continued writing their pieces on Autumn. We shared them with partners and with the class to help others build their ideas of using different sentence starters and different words. They were great!

In Thirst, we read up to Chapter 8. We discussed what we have learned about so far and met new charcters. There was a really suspenseful part of the book, ask you child about what happened. We will work in our Visual Journals tomorrow on a specific choice about what the students have listened and read so far. 


In Math, we continued on learning about equations and algebra. We watched a video to help explain to students a little further what the questions are asking for. We will continue to work on them tomorrow to build our understanding. 


In Makerspace, students had free choice today. They were very creative and here are some of their designs. 




In Health, we finished up the role playing skits. We also watched a video discussing about if you think something, don't say it if it isn't nice. Keep discussing at home with your child about how to solve problems with our words rather than with violence. 

In Science, we learned about ecosystems and how animals and non-living things  interact with each other so they can survive. We watched a video about ecosystems to solidify our understanding. 


I hope you have a great evening.

 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 ...

 Happy December, Families! Welcome to the last three weeks three and half weeks before holdiay break! Hope you are staying warm!  Today in PE, we played Pinball Soccer. 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...
