Happy Remembrance Day!

Shortest short week!

I thought I would add some photos of some things that also happened this week and some of the activities we did this week.

Last week at our assembly, Mrs. Lysgaard talked to the school about operation Christmas Child. A letter was sent home earlier in the month about asking for boxes for this foundation. The idea is to fill a box with presents for children in need. If you are still interested in this foundation you can find more info here.
Through this discussion we also talked about doing something for studens in our own community and school. As a school project we have decided to decorate quilt squares with our names, pictures or messages to put together for Logan and Scarlet!






With our computer time this week the students explored google classroom and drive. From classroom they were shared an assignment to create their own poppies in google drawings! It was tough getting started, but once they got in a groove they took off! Look how great these poppies are!

In Math we started out Addition and Subtraction to 12 by making parts for numbers to 12. Working with blocks we would create a whole number, split it into 2 parts and then see how many combinations we can use to make our whole! As we start to have a solid understanding of this concept addition should be a breeze! 

In Science we discussed Natural vs. Manufactured colours. An example of natural colours are lemons are yellow. An example of manufactured would be a yellow tennis ball. Natural colours are things that exist in nature, where as manufactured would be colours that are made. As a fun project we went through magazines looking for pictures of each category and putting them on a t-chart.

We will be having a printing specialist from Alberta Health coming next week! How lucky are we? She will help us with printing on the lines, printing letters the right size and how our letters should work.
