Highlights Feb 21-25

 In math, Grade 1s have been working on making their own book about math strategies we have been learning for addition! They can't wait to show families next Friday for celebration of learning! Grade 2s this week started addition algorithms with regrouping and they are doing amazing!! 


In science, we made an experiment on our window about the water cycle. Students love 'making it rain' with the condensation. 



In social studies, students observed life on the prairie and are creating a page in their visual journals to demonstrate different elements of the prairies! 


In P.E, students have begun gymnastics and are working on mat work. Next week they will start using equipment!! 


In FLA, students worked through the neurolinguistic approach (NLA). This means, students practice speaking, reading, writing, and speaking again on the topic of what we did on the weekend. We spent the first day talking about it, then students read about what Mme. Varughese did on the long weekend. Next, they wrote about their weekends, and on the final day, shared their entries with the class.  

In health, students talked about Pink Shirt Day and what it means. We created a bucket on our door, and each made a drop with an idea of a kind action we could take to fill someone's bucket. Students made meaningful connections about how to prevent bullying and be an ally.

 This week in art, we completed our beautiful pieces on leaf patterns!  In math, we look at number and practiced counting in various ways to 50. We also played a fun sorting and ordering game with our leaves looking at how we can sort them from smallest to biggest, by shape, and colour!  In science, we talked about ants and practiced labeling the parts of the insect!  This week in french, we wrote about what we are thankful for and used our patterning skills to create a beautiful journal entry.  In social studies,  we talked about rural communities and added to our mural to contrast urban vs. rural!  Looking ahead.... October 13th is picture day! Bring your best smiles!  Next Friday, October 15th, we are excited to go on a trip to the coulee! Be sure to dress warm that day and be ready for a great day in nature.

 We've had lots of fun this week in science continuing to experiment with magnets! We explored how magnets have poles, and how the size of a magnet does not necessarily correlate to its strength.  In social studies, we have been looking at symbols of maritimes and observed lighthouses and lobster fishing! Students have started an art project of a maritime scene that they are excited to share!  In FLA, students have been working on writing using picture prompts, and sharing their writing with others. Students have given feedback to each-other to help improve their work!  In math, students have been continuing to practice subtraction. They brought home some of the practice questions we did this week to celebrate with their families!  In P.E, we have started dribbling, striking, and other object manipulation. This week we focused on badminton skills in hitting the birdie to each-other; it was very tricky and fun! In health, we had a wonderful presentation from a fa...
