The end of this chapter!

Hard to believe that we are a few days away from summer holidays. We have had a fantastic year learning, welcoming new friends, and having fun. While we are sad to say goodbye to three of our peers, we are excited for them as they venture off to middle school to continue their journey.  Therefore, we will sign off with some photos from the past week of our crazy adventures from the classroom.


Let's share this space.

Boys being boys!

Where did this week go?

This past week we began learning how to tell time to the hour on an analog clock.  We have been listening to two different songs, Let's learn about the Clock  and Rock and Tell the Time on the Clock.   We have also used the SMARTboard to interact with some clocks moving the hours into the proper position.  Friday was our first time visiting the Learning Commons this year to borrow books.  We spent this week reading stories and watching short videos about going to a library, manners in the library, borrowing books.  Some students connected their own experiences of going to the Calgary Public Library and our social story, I can go to the Library. Lastly, IPPs were sent home in your child's backpack Friday, October 15th.  I will be available to  meet with families virtually to discuss your child's IPP for this term.  Time slots for these meetings include each day after school from 3:15pm - 4:30pm (including Monday) and Friday from 12:45pm - 3:30...

A short week!

It may have been a short week, but we did accomplish quite a bit.  This week we continued to learn about creating colours.  We used the following link, Creating Colours, to practice mixing colours and this was a very fun and successful activity for the students.  We also completed two different experiments where students were excited and engaged.  The first experiment we completed was the  Skittles Experiment .  We watched the following video,  Skittles experiment video  to get everyone excited.   One group used warm water and the other group cold water.  Before completing the experiment, students had to guess whose Skittle experiment would happen fastest.  The second experiment we completed was the  Walking  water experiment .  While this experiment needed more time to complete, we were able to improvise and show the students how colours can mix. We also had some free time during gym while we prepare for g...

We keep on trucking along!

Over the past week, we have continued to wrap up our learning of the five senses.  Students are creating pages for each of the five senses and looking through magazines to find pictures that are representative of each sense.  We also added to our learning about different cultural celebrations and spent Tuesday ringing in the Year of the Tiger.  We read two different books, discussed different symbols that represent good luck (the colour red), and created Chinese lanterns. Students got to continue practicing their cutting skills by using target lines to create the 3D shape.   Lastly, we also began Drum Fit in Gym.  The students really enjoy this activity and some students have led us through their own dance moves.  Please find one of the videos that we have been watching for Drum Fit here .  Next week, we will continue to see if we can design a routine with at least three different dance steps.
