 Reminders:

Jan. 11th:  PD Day NO School

Jan. 12th: Return to in-person learning (please return all home reading books and library books)

Jan. 13th:  Library Day

Remember to dress for the weather.  We go outside every day for recess, lunch recess and gym.

It was nice to see everyone for our week of online learning.  We had fun learning in a different way. I look forward to seeing everyone's faces in person on  Tuesday.

In ELA this week we wrote about our favourite or least favourite things about winter, the break and how we feel about coming back to school.  Students also had the chance to create the words for some picture books that have no words.  We also learned more graphemes this week.  "ph" "dge", "oe", "tch" and "ti". 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 were practicing our addition and subtraction skills. We also used these skills to solve open-ended math problems.  Open-ended problems are problems that have more than one solution and can be approached in different ways.


In Science this week, we completed various building challenges.  We learned that we need a strong base to build on.  We also learned that some materials are stronger than others. Check out some of the kids structures from this week.








Ask me About: 
  • Where do I hear these different sounds: "ph" "dge," "oe" "tch" and "ti"  Hint- think of the words .  Can you think of any others?
  • Take some time to practice reading and math on Raz Kids, and Prodigy.

 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

   Reminders: September 24th and 25th are Parent Teacher Conferences .  They will be virtual conferences.  Please follow the link sent to you from the office to sign up.  Sign up closes on Monday the 21st at noon.  If you need help, please contact the office or myself (hlandrews@cbe.ab.ca) and we can help you book a conference.  October 1st is our first Spirit Day.  The students have chosen Pajama Day.  Students may wear a clean pair of pjs, but we ask that stuffies and toys stay at home. 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
