Great Week!

We have had a busy week in room 18!

Our week began with an awesome trip to Island Lake! The pond study and cooperative games were great!  The class had such a positive experience!

Pictures coming soon!

Last night we had another wonderful Open House! It was so busy...and so nice to meet everyone!  Thank you for stopping by room 18!

Curriculum updates :

In language we are working on our summarizing skills.  The students have been practicing how to take a large piece of written material and bring it down to a suitable size. Not an easy feat! We will spend a bit more time on this and then move on to some "longer" pieces of writing. This week, the reading component, and our art activities have centred around Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope. (See below for run details).

In math we are well into our triangle (geometry) unit and have begun learning about the interior angle theory.  The kids will have a quiz on Friday, and a unit test by the end of next week.

In history our focus is still on Confederation and we will be taking a closer look at the Fathers of Confederation.

We have been working on our soccer skills in gym, and have also been playing cooperative games.  Soon, we will move into a basketball unit, and we will begin our healthy eating unit in health studies.

In art we have been designing optical illusions, and today we worked on a Terry Fox art activity that involved designing a running shoe that symbolizes his Marathon of Hope.

I have been meeting with the parents of those kid who have IEP's. If you have not received a notice regarding this, please contact me at school or drop a note in your child's agenda.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!


Take care,
Miss Waddell
