IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Tax Receipts Tax receipts went home with some students today. Please check your child’s backpack. If you have any questions about this, or believe you should have received one, please contact the office. Zoo School This is a callout for volunteers for Zoo School. When: April 9-13 Time: All day. Bus leaves at 8:10, arriving back at the school shortly before dismissal. You can meet up there, and parking at the zoo will be free for volunteers. I will confirm the time our day starts at the zoo if you choose to meet us there. We need 5 volunteers a day. You can contact Jodi (classroom coordinator) or you can email me. You can volunteer for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days. They have to be whole days. A Zoo School coordinator will be visiting our class on April 4th to go over the program, protocols and expectations. Volunteers are invited to this event. More details to follow. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. IMPORTANT DATES February 21: Fun Lunch (OPA!) February 26: Elder Shirley Hill February 28: Pink Shirt Day OUR DAY Okay. I counted twice this year. Miss Konno and Mme Pallesen counted twice, and well, I think I should’ve been making ticks on the wall. Tomorrow is the 100th day of school. I will look at this as I have gained some time back. Today, students settled back into the routine of school. They received a page with their previous 3 sorts on it. They will do some activities in class, and on Friday they will do a review quiz. I did not print out a sheet to bring home, however if you would like your child to have one, please email me, and I will make sure they have one for tomorrow. We also reviewed a sample Pen Pal letter, looking at the different features, such as content, and formatting. Students began writing their rough copy. After recess, we began the last Peru centres such as weaving, and studying and reflecting on Peruvian pictures. In the afternoon, we tackled our six-room poetry. The focus for today was a bit confusing for the students - this one focuses on light and how it affects colour. I informed that the class that sometimes when things aren’t working out, we can change the way we do it. They were quite shocked at this! I will discuss this idea further with the students tomorrow, because it does tie in with the design-task process. If you are building something or experimenting in science, and you feel the result can improve, you change the experiment/task, so why not with writing? After gym, we look at using base-ten blocks and a place value chart can help to add 3-digit numbers. At the end of the model, it was messsssss-yyyyyyy. Tomorrow, we will use magic to clean it up and make it efficient. Cheerios! Ms Lauf Comments are closed.
