Week of Feb. 22-26, 2021

 This week in ELA we will be focusing on adding descriptive details to add interest to our events in our stories. We are trying to stretch out our ideas so an event is more than 1-2 sentences long.

Here are the words for this week that students should be able to read and write. Students are practicing using their words in a sentence as well.

Red Group:  apple, put, red, is, little

Blue Group: book, school, teacher, street, went

Purple Group: light, lights, dish, dishes, wishes


Today in Health, we read the story In My Heart. We talked about how our heart feels when someone does something kind for us and the children had to generate a list of words to describe the feeling, but they could not use happy or good. Some of the words they came up with were; 

Joyful, loving, cheerful, thankful, kind, helpful,

 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 October 9th: PD Day - NO SCHOOL October 12th:  Thanksgiving - NO SCHOOL October 14th:  Picture Day October 29th:  Costume Day October 30th:  PD Day - NO SCHOOL Parents, it might be a good idea to put a change of clothes in the bottom of your child's backpack so that if an accident happens, they have something to change into.  Sometimes the children are too busy playing in gym or at recess, and by the time they realize they need to go to the bathroom, it's too late.   Next week your child will bring home 1 library book and a bag of home reading books.  Please keep the home reading books at home all week and have your child practice reading their books several times.  This allows them to practice fluency and expression. Here are some notable activities from this 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 wr
