 Good afternoon!

Please remember to dress appropriately for the weather. It is below 20 all this week so make sure you are sending your child with all the essentials on how to get to and from the school. 

In PE, the students were practicing their stick handling and shooting in the game Ultimate Stop Shot. They had to stick handle to a poly spot and then shoot their shot at a net while one student who was the goalie had to protect all the nets. The had a blast. 

In Writing, students are working on typing up their beginnings and planning their middles for their Flaws to Traits Stories. 

In Math, we are wrapping up algebra with puzzles to make the students think and remember the rules for algebra. They have been understanding it more and more. We will be moving on to a new topic next week. 




We have read up to Chapter 23 in Thirst. The students used their knowledge of what they have heard to identify different character traits about Minni and what evidence from the novel can support that. Students will be working on another project and a reflection about the novel so far. 



In Makerspace, the students were tasked to create something that keeps them warm during a cold day using the materials provided for them but had to think outside of the box rather than just a car or house. 







For Social this afternoon, we learned about why we wear a poppy around this time. We watched a video explaining the poem Why Wear a Poppy . We discussed what peace means at this time as well as what Remembrance Day is at this time. We then made poppies for our poppy wall in the hallway as well as poppies for our wreath for the Remembrance Day celebration. 


Stay warm!

 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 ...

 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...
