 Good Afternoon!

Please check to see if you have signed consent to photogrpah your child and put them on the blog and or the school website. The students are creating wonderful things at school and we would love yo share it with you all!

In PE, today the students played another version of dodgeball called Pin Protector. They had to protect bowling pins from being stolen from their zone. If anyone knocked them down they got to steal the pin to their side. The other way that they could gain pins is through getting a ball in the basket of the opponents' nets or by catching an opponents' ball, then they could grab a pin from the middle. If the students got hit in the legs they had to do five jumping jacks in the back of their zone. The students had a blast!

In Writing, the students as a class began to write a beginning to a class story that we are writing. They all had great ideas that we voted on as a class to continue to build our story. We also looked at adding description and juicy words to the beginning to grab and hook the reader even more! We will continue to work on our class beginnings before the students begin their own beginnings. 



In Math, we continued talking about place value. We delved in to the thoughts on millions. It is a hard concept for students to understand when introducing because it is such a large number. We also discussed how many money bills it would take to get one million dollars. 



We read Chapter 24 and 25 of Pax. Students are continuing to pick out the most important information that they hear while listening to Pax. 

In Makerspace, students were tasked with the idea to create a Jack-o-lantern from the materials that were pulled out during this time. They were fantastic!







In Science, students are all working on their Wetlands Zone Poster along with the animals that fit in that zone of the wetland! They are looking awesome! Cannot wait to show you!

Have a lovely 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 ...

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...
