January 10 - January 14
⛄It was so lovely to see the students again and hear all about their Winter Holiday ⛄
Ask your child about the learning we did this week:
Literacy:
- We used our descriptive words, learned about syllables and created Winter Poetry (Haiku).
- We started our new Guided Reading stations and we are beginning to learn how to use a dictionary to find out the meaning of words.
Math:
- Regrouping using 2 and 3-digit numbers
- We enjoyed playing dice games and being quick at adding basic facts
Science:
- Layers of the earth AND layers found in soil
- We worked through the scientific process and completed a science experiment to discover what we can find in soil.
Social Studies:
- Researching traditional clothing in Peru, Tunisia and Ukraine
- If you have small pieces of cloth or other items that will help create tradition clothing (for your paper doll) bring these items to school on Monday.
Spring Production:
Auditions will begin soon for Willy Wonka. Many students took home an audition form and have started to practice. Click here if your child would like to audition and needs the audition form.
Field Trip: Wednesday, February 2nd
Read Updated Information (in green):
We are planning our first out of school field trip and are very excited. As of now, our plan is to go to the Telus Spark Science centre on February 2nd. This will be an all day field trip. We will need 5 volunteers that meet the specific requirements from the CBE. If you are not sure if you meet the requirements, please let me know. If you are able to volunteer, please send me an email at rmhowell@cbe.ab.ca If you are planning on helping out during this field trip please note: Mrs. Taylor will be scanning QR codes for proof of vaccination the morning of the field trip and Telus will also need to see proof of vaccination. Bring a paper copy in case the QR scanner is not working.
As excited as we are, we are also being cautious about this field trip. We understand with COVID that anything can change at any given time. We will not be sending home the forms until January 24th, so we can keep a close eye on protocols and mandates. If you have any questions, as always, please let me know!
