 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 first one here and then it will make the other videos easy to find.


In Art this week, we made a spirit dancer.  Here is the link if you would like to make another one at home.



Here are some pictures of the results!

  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
