    ELA 
    We're soooo close to finishing James and the Giant Peach! We're planning to watch the film next Friday afternoon. The film is rated PG and if you would not like your child to watch the film, please email me with negative consent. 

    For our Talk About it Tuesday students buddy read poems from Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic. They chose poems that they could relate to and responded on KidBlog. 


    Our Cinquians are all done! Students did such a great job taking their time, and playing with form to enhance the visual appearance of their poems.

    Our Poetry focus was on Haikus this week. Haiku is a japanese poem that has a specific rule to its form based on syllables. Students worked through a HyperDoc to first study Haiku, learn how they are written and then create their own! Our complete collection of Haiku's can be found on this Google Slide. If you click on the little video icon, you can listen to your child read their Haiku! 

    Reader's Chair
    Peyton rocked reading Doreen Cronin's Click, Clack, Peep! 
    Next Week: Blake
    MATH
    Students have been working through stations in small groups to practice division problems. We've been working on building the understanding and connection of multiplication to division to help solve division problems. We are going to continue with division practice next week.

    SCIENCE
    This week we looked at how objects emit and reflect light. We did an experiment in a dark room, trying to observe how we see objects (with light) and which type of objects emit light.

    SOCIAL
    Our focus this week has been on the different First Nations groups in Alberta. These groups have been in Alberta for thousands of years! Students spent some time looking on www.firstpeoplesofcanada.com to learn about the languages of each group, where they were in Alberta and other interesting facts.


    PHYS. ED 
    We were so lucky, AGAIN, to have Coach Franco come to our class this week! Coach Franco spent time with the students discussing what a triatholon is (swimming, biking, running) and how they can do it in their own gym class! Of course, we had to get a bit creative and the kids absolutely LOVED IT!

    SWIM!
    BIKE!
    RUN!
    Check out our Class Story on ClassDojo to see the kids in ACTION!
