 Good Afteroon families!

Please read the following from Mrs. Brinson:

DO YOU GET MRS. BRINSON'S WEEKLY NORTHERN LIGHTS NEWS EMAILS?

Every Friday, Mrs. Brinson sends out important information and updates through a Northern Lights News email.  Today, she sent out the eighth one for this school year.  If you don't receive them, it is because you have not subscribed with the email that the school has on file.  These communications are SUPER important so we would like ALL families to receive them. Please visit https://calgary.schoolmessenger.com/cbe_subscribe

Today we started off with writing. We were using our senses to help revise our class beginning to the story we have started about the stickleback fish. The students ended up coming up with a great change to our story by adding elaborative detail to where our fish lived. 

In Math, we continued to work on algebraic equations and solving for them. The students are starting to understand them better!

In Makerspace, the students had some free time to

explore and create something that included a pattern. We had some great creations. 






For Social, we read the book Eh? to Zed about different things that represent Canada. We discussed some of the things that we did not know about. Our next step is create our own ideas about Canada and an image to go with it. 

We did not read Thirst today. We did an activity where the students had some choice to show what they know and understand about the novel as we have read Chapters 1-7.

In PE, the students played more basketball games of 3 on 3, using all their skills that they learned this week and last. 

I hope you have a lovely weekend and get out to do some fun fall activities for the Fall Activities Video. 

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...
