 Happy Friday! 

On Wednesday, next week is our last Healthy Hunger of 2022, it is Panago Pizza. If you would like your child to partake, please go to the MyCBE webpage and order for your child. 

It will be super cold next week. We will likely be inside for all of our recesses, but please make sure that your child is dressed for the weather coming to and from school.

This morning we did our Field study Friday. We went outside and the students were to pick a stick. They were to examine the stick and draw it in their visual journals. After they drew their stick they were to write out descriptions about their stick using their senses. Some of the renditions are great! 

We continued reading Restart. It brought up a really interesting piece today about when stories are told from different perspectives that we may not know who to believe. It is important to listen to all sides of the story, but it also alright not to know what is right. 

In Makerspace, the students are getting more and more creative! Take a look:






In Math, students worked on their basic facts and with subtracting decimals. We will be doing some fun math projects next week.

In Writing, the students are working on their endings! Almost done!

In PE, the students did Freedom Frenzy! They had fun!

Have a great and safe weekend!

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.

 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.
