In ELA this week we made cards for various people in our school such as Mr. Whitton, Mr. Wamutete, and Mrs. Pullen.  The children learned about their jobs, drew pictures of them and wrote messages of appreciation.  The class was so excited to give them their cards, and they were received with much gratitude and appreciation.  We also learned 5 new phonograms.  We also learned more graphemes this week.  "igh" "ie", "kn", "gn" and "wr". make sure to ask me what sounds these graphemes make!  If you need a reminder or want to practice, check out the video in our Google Classroom.


In math this week we learned about how to read, interpret, and create bar graphs and pictographs.  Here is an example of a task we did.
Make a graph for each design. Show how many of each colour/shape you used.

Here is an example of a graph for the pattern designs on the previous slide


Looking at your graphs try answering these questions:

Design 1:

  • How many more blue parallelograms are there than green triangles?

  • How many more blocks are red trapezoids or blue parallelograms than yellow hexagons or green triangles?

  • How many blocks are green triangles?



In our Inquiry block have finished building our places for our Calgary timeline. We are now researching some of the people specific to that place and learning about their lives.

Ask me About: 
  • Where do I hear these different sounds: "igh" "ie," "kn," "gn" and "wr"  Hint- think of the words sigh, chief, know, sign and write.  Can you think of any others?
  • Take some time to practice logging into Google Classroom, Iris, Raz Kids, and Prodigy.  This should be something we can start doing independently!  We will be doing it a lot the first week of January.

 It's finally June.  In a few weeks, we will have a 2 month vacation! We have had a busy week this week. In ELA we have been working on writing about, "What would I do if I could stay up all night?" We practiced adding lots of details to our sentences.  Students have continues to practice doing our "Find it & Fix it" strategy for editing.   In Math we have reviewing measuring, specifically mass and calendar.  Students have engaged in centres and problem solving tasks about calendar and mass.  For our inquiry project we have been finishing our comic strip about the animal and its community. Students included how we can learn from the animals and care for the land. We shared how we can help the animals so that they can be around for a long time.  We also watch a series of videos about the Seven Sacred Laws. A Indigenous series about how we are all connected and need to respect the land and others. There are a total of 8 videos. I will include the link to the f

Here are some notable activities from the week: During Language Arts, we are reviewing the graphemes (letters with their sounds).  This is a good review for all students as they it helps them be more aware of letter sounds when they are reading and writing.  This week we reviewed the letters; a, c, d, f, and g.  Along with reviewing the letter names and sounds, we are also learning/reviewing how to print the letters properly so that their printing becomes more efficient.  Remember, we always start pr
