Week 20!

These scientists were very busy this week.

 We experimented with liquids and tested their absorbency.

 We compared different kinds of liquids such as dish soap, syrup, water and oil.

 We also explored boats and buoyancy.

 We made cork boats with keels.

 We made plasticine boats and tested how much cargo they could carry.

Each student built their own boat which was photographed and shared on FreshGrade.

The grade five students from Our Lady of the Angels came to share plays they wrote.   They shared three different plays with us.

 Please ensure you are reading each night with your child.  

Another way of supporting your child at home is to have them work on Essential Skills.  All access details can be found on the in side cover of your child's agenda.

Week 19!

We are continuing to work on our number sense as we practice building numbers with base tens while working on place value.

Here are all the ways we can show the number 88.

 Our FacetoFace ministeries concert was so much fun! 

 Please remember to check Freshgrade to see what your child is doing in class.  

We are still working on our banana split math facts.  

A great way to practice math facts is to play some of the games we shared before the Christmas break.  Please see previous posts for games.

Library day is a Monday.   Please help your child to remember to return their books.

Please be aware that the morning bell goes at 8:45 and attendance is taken in class at 8:50am.  The earlier your child is in class, the more time they have to complete their morning meeting.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me at 780 997 0589 or lesleyh@eics.ab.ca

Week 18!

We worked on setting some goals for the new year.

 We worked on ordinals in math.

We are working on our math basic facts to 18.  We are working on our first set of facts to earn a bowl for our banana split.

Students will work on earning all the parts of a banana split and we will celebrate with a real banana split once we have all learned our facts.

 We had lots of fun learning about how children played games long ago in Meteghan.

We learned about the Acadian people.

 Acadian women wore bonnets to protect their hair and face from dirt and sun.  They wore aprons with large pockets to collect eggs and vegetables to prepare meals for their family.

 We made lighthouses just like the lighthouses found in Nova Scotia.  

 We learned about all the chores and jobs that needed to be done by the Acadian people long ago.

 We learned how to make butter.

 We learned how to play wooden spoons and heard some Acadian music.

 We learned about the Acadian flag.

Thank you so much to our volunteers.  We couldn't do it without you!
