Highlights:
  • Finishing our Alberta mural. 
  • Introducing our STEM challenge. Each student has chosen one method of seed dispersal and will build a model of it next week. Students are encouraged to bring in recyclables that could be used for their model.
  • Continuing to examine and revise skeleton sentences. We also worked on "show not tell" when writing about emotions. For example, instead of writing, "she was happy," we discussed how we could describe how she looked and acted instead.
  • Focusing on identifying long and short vowels during spelling.
  • Practicing cursive writing
  • Explored numbers further by completing a Place Value Park and played a game called "The Last Number Standing". 

Reminders:

  • Continue to read every night and practice addition and subtraction facts at home.
  • If you are able to donate a small pumpkin (the tiny decorative ones are fine) for art next week, please let me know!
  • No school on Monday.

Seeds for Science

-
Hello parents! If you are outside this weekend/week with your child, please look for seeds to bring in to class next week. Students can look for seeds in the wild or in their yards. We are looking for a wide variety of seeds, so they can also bring in seeds from fruit/vegetables in the kitchen or from seed packets. Please label the seeds in a bag, if you know what type of seeds they are. We will collect the seeds all next week to use during science for our Plant unit this month. Thank-you for your help!

Hello Parents and Students, We hope you are well and have had a relaxing spring break.   For the foreseeable future, together we are traveling into the world of online learning.  We thank you for your ongoing patience as we navigate this new journey and continue to take up the Alberta Program of Studies.  We will be providing learning opportunities & activities soon.
