October 15th-19th

We have been focusing on the following Learning Intentions this week:
Language Arts

• Learning about adjectives and nouns, how adjectives describe the noun
• Began designing our own Haunted Houses so we can create Listings for them to sell. Examined home listings, what makes a good description, brainstorming nouns

Social

• We continued our research around the seven physical regions of Canada 

• We used different resources to focus on one region independently

Science

• We began to construct our wetlands creations
• Focused on using our research to make accurate portrayals

Math

• Used place value charts, cards and samples to work on understanding place values for decimal numbers, and how to add them
• Place Value for numbers up to a million and down to the thousandth

TSN (Try Something New)

• This week we began a new exciting opportunity in school where students spend the last hour of the week trying something new. There are many different sessions to choose from including Outdoor Adventures, Why walk when you can dance, Lego robots, Character Design and more. We will be running several cycles of the program so students have the opportunity to try many new things. Make sure you ask about your students choice!

Reminders

• Tuesday is our Field Trip to Weaselhead. We are in need of parent volunteers to help us, so if you are available and have already registered and obtained your police clearance through the office, please email either of us and we would be thrilled for the support.
• Remember to bring hiking shoes as the trails are clear, a (reasonably) litterless lunch as we are outside all day. Dress in layers for weather as we will be going regardless of the temperature or precipitation. We are still waiting for a couple of field trip forms to come back, as well as many students still need to pay the field trip fee either online or in the office.
