Weekly Update

We had a great week at school this week!  Students have been working hard and we have been getting a lot of things accomplished.  Here is a quick snapshot of what we have been doing in class this week:

Math – We are working on various problem solving strategies.

Language Arts – We are working on a novel study on the book, “The City of Ember”, are working on our grammar booklets, and are learning how to pull information from non-fiction books, take jot notes and turn these notes into paragraphs.

Social Studies – we are learning about the different regions of Canada.  Students are working in pairs and using the research skills they’ve learned in LA to read and take jot notes on their specific region.

Science – we completed Week 5 of planet protectors, focusing on buying smart.  Next week we will finish up this fantastic unit and plan our assembly for Feb 7th.

Health – we are working through the different core competencies and next week we will be making goals for ourselves based on the competencies.

Here are a few things coming up…

Bake Sale:  Thank you SO MUCH for helping us with our bake sale by bringing in lots of yummy treats!  This was the first year EVER that we have sold out of baking.  I am excited to announce that we raised $520 for compost bins and the Guatemala Missions Team.  Well done!!

Pajama Day on Tuesday:  Wear your comfy pj’s to school on Tuesday!  If you do not want to wear pajamas then please wear your regular uniform.

SWEET TREAT:  Students worked hard these last few weeks of school and the mystery prize has been revealed.  On Tuesday students will be getting cookies and hot chocolate as a reward for working hard to get back into routine after Christmas break (and our snow days)!
