Sorry, it has been a pair of busy weeks for me, so I wasn't able to provide any news. Some little updates:
- Today we are receiving an Inuit Games presentation in the gym for our class.
- this Wednesday we also have a dance presentation in the afternoon.
In Math, we have moved onto telling time. Last two weeks, we made our "Metric Staircase" to help us understand the differences between kilo-, centi- and milli- units. We will be continuing a little with this during the week as well, looking at measuring weight and capacity this week.
In Language, there has been a focus on writing short stories. Specifically, we have been working on a "Dog's Adventure" story which we will be reading some in the class. I have been trying to spend extra time with the class on the editing process, wanting them to focus on sentence structure, punctuation and what a paragraph looks like. Our next writing task will be n a short story called "The Day I Got to be Principal".
In Science, we are moving onto Strong and Stable Structures. We will have an introductory lesson this week.
We will also start some in-class dance lessons through the National Ballet School of Canada. We will learning about Hip-Hop dance, and learning some of the basic moves. Lots of fun!
Now a message from the school:
"During the season of Lent, we are called to practice almsgiving — sharing what we have to support those in need. As a school community, we are collecting non-perishable, nut-free food items to give back to families in our local community through The Pavilion Food Bank. Each week will focus on a different food category.
Thank you for helping us put our faith into action by caring for others in our community."
