 Good afternoon!

Photo Proofs went home today so please take a look to see if you like them. We are collecting money for the pictures in the classroom. If you are not pleased with the photos, Photo Retake day is November 23 next week. Students also brought home Purdy's Chocolate forms to be filled out and brought back. 

In PE, we finished our floor hockey unit today and will be moving on to something new!

In Writing, we are working on typing up the middle part of our Flaws to Traits stories and adding in our suspense pieces. The stories are looking pretty great so far. 

In Math, the student wrote a Show what you know about algebra. We will be doing more decimals tomorrow. 

In Makerspace, the students had free rein to do what they wished with the materials I laid out. They are pretty creative students.







In Health, the students are working on reviewing the practices that we (as a school) have taught to the students. The four steps: ask to stop and tell why, ignore, walk away, and get help. We have also discussed with students to think about what they are going to say and the thought of not saying it or what happens when we would say it. Lastly, we have taught the students to use a strong firm voice when saying Stop to other students. We discussed today the ways that we apologize to our classmates and how to say it to be sincere rather than without feeling. 

This afternoon, we began to wrap up our Wetlands unit. The students will likely have a quiz on some of the topic later this week. 

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 ...

 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...
