 Good Afternoon!

A reminder we do not have school tomorrow as it is a PD day for us teachers! If you would like to see your child on the Blog doing fun activities please be sure to fill out the consent form for photos on the My CBE parent or guardian site. 

Students are allowed to wear costumes or orange and black on Monday! If a student is wearing a costume they need to make sure that it is a costume that allows them to work and is not a distrctions. No weapons or masks are allowed on this day! Also, please watch your child's lunch as we do not want lunches full of candy for Monday or Tuesday next week, please make sure it is balanced. 

In PE, the students played the same game as yesterday!

In Music, the students started creating their own body percussion to a song. They helped to create the rubric that will help me mark them. 

We reviewed what we have read in Thirst over the week. 

In Writing, students worked quietly on their beginning planning page. Once complete the students were to work on their Thirst project, do a gratitude prompt and then work on free reading, free writing or math related tasks. 

In the afternoon, we read our books independently or to someone or the students were to work on their Thirst projects. We had a couple times today to stop what we were doing and read. We watched the rest of the staff's favourite book videos. We also watched two groups of students finish their health skits about how to say a firm stop when talking to students who are bothering them or making fun of them. Students also helped me review what we have learned so far in our health lessons. 

The rest of the afternoon the students worked on their Halloween art projects. 

I hope you have a lovely weekend. 

Miss. Hillier

  Good afternoon Lovely Grade 5 Parents and Guardians, I hope you had a lovely day! We sure did at school! Tomorrow is Spirit Day at school so please wear Purple (if you can) for Grade 5! We are also going on a walking Field Trip tomorrow to the Coventry/Country Hills Storm Pond. Please make sure that your child is dressed for the weather as it may rain in the afternoon. We are going from about 1:45-3:15.  This morning the students had their first music class. We learned about different vocabulary for music terms and about different instruments. We then played Rhythm Master! The students had a blast! We continued to work on our writing piece about either their summer vacations or what they are excited and nervous about in Grade 5. We are almost complete so it will be nice to hear what students did over the summer or what they are looking forward to this year. We moving forward we will be looking at how to create rich paragraphs by expanding and adding details.  In Math, we started our

 Good afternoon! A reminder tomorrow is Healthy Hunger day! Kernels will be dropped off tomorrow. Thursday is Festive Hat day!  In PE, the students are working with scooters and it looks like so much fun! In Writing, students are working on wrapping up their pieces of writing with their ending. We have discussed the different strategies to use when ending a piece of writing. So, the students are going to wrap up their stories by using two of these strategies, revealing the character's trait that they learn about themselves, and revealing the adaptation that their character has gained from its journey!  In Math, the students reviewed the decimal place value strategy that was learned over the last couple of classes. We then discussed comparing decimals and reviewing what the <, >, = mean when comparing numbers. Students then practiced this task with 15 questions.  In Word Work, students worked with their groups to find different words that followed the patterns of their words.

 Hello Lovely Parents and Guardians! Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day! Please read the following: On Thursday, September 29, students are encouraged to wear an orange shirt (or an orange article of clothing if they don't have an orange shirt) to recognize Orange Shirt Day and National Truth and Reconciliation Day. Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for everyone to come together in the spirit of reconciliation to show their support of a safe, respectful and caring school community.
