Highlights from last week:
The kids had a blast at our Track Meet last Thursday! The kids were very proud of their efforts and sportsmanship. Well done everyone. Friday afternoon was also full of excitement because we dissected owl pellets! The students did their best to identify and reassemble an animal skeleton from the bones.
What's happening this week?
Mr. Weddell will be in the office for Mr. Poelzer this week, so I will be in the classroom full-time! There will be no school on Friday due to Pro-D and no school Monday due to Victoria Day. In Language Arts, I will be reading aloud Sean Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Happy Kids. The students will be writing down the key ideas and connecting these stories to their own lives. In Math, we will be doing a quick mini-unit on linear measurement and relating units of measure. In Science we will start our final unit of the year, Light and Sound. In Socials, students will continue to work on their Explorers research projects and their presentations (either a skit or poster format). In Fine Arts, I am hoping we will have a chance to do a music/listening activity or two.
REMINDERS: * Please sign and return Big Little Science Centre Permission forms.
(We will need at least 5-6 parent drivers for this trip)
* Please sign and return term 2 Report Card envelopes
