Busy Week!

I hope everyone enjoyed their extended weekend!  Although the snow day just didn't measure up to what it was supposed to!

Photo essays, novel study assignments and media posters are due this week.  The kids can have the weekend - as long as they ask for an extension.

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Short Week!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Family Day weekend!

Things are busy as usual in Room 18!

Some of the activities the kids are working on are as follows :

Language : we are working on photo essays that require the kids to bring in their photos to school and put them into a picture-essay format, that has a "theme" of their choice.
Also in language, we are working on the reading and summarizing of current events news articles. And, the culminating projects for our novel studies are due before March Break.  We are finishing our media/concert posters and our menu math.  The kids will soon be creating radio jingles that advertize the restaurants that their menus were created for.

Math : we are finishing off our patterning unit and moving onto a measurement unit.

Science : we are beginning our Systems in Actions unit and will be building a structure that includes spaghetti and marshmallows!

Phys-ed : we have finished basketball and will move onto floor hockey, badminton, and healthy eating.

Upcoming dates : 
February 23 - IPRC reviews (parents who are involved with this have been notified)
March 6th - our Dance-a-thon!!!

Please remember to return all report card slips and envelopes to the school before March Break!

Have a great week!
