 We will be transitioning from a daily agenda blog to a weekly agenda blog starting next week.  This once a week entry will be posted on Fridays and will contain:

  • highlights (with pictures) to provide information about what was learned during the week in Math, English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies.  
  • tips for what students should continue to work on at home (when it is applicable)
  • important reminders for the coming week

We would like all families to take time each weekend to talk about the week, discuss new learning and check in with students about what is needed for the coming week. 

 

Any other important information will be sent out via SchoolMessenger emails.  Please continue to check the School Website for Mrs. Brinson's weekly Northern Lights News as it has additional important information that families need. 


Today we jumped right into reading responses. To demonstrate their understanding of text, they answered one of the following questions: 

We continued with our biography writing. We reviewed how to write a paragraph. 

After this, we had some time to work on our Minecraft building. To ensure unity some of the kids are including community gardens, cultural stages, off-leash dog parks! 

We took a quick break outside in the snow before heading to music for music share. 

We did some catch-up on Science and Dragon Eye art, and then we completed our classroom clean-up. 

That was our day!

We learned a game called Junk It, and we are completing daily decimal practice to coun...

  We explored some nature kits to prepare for our Field Trip next Thursday. We observed castings of skulls, foot prints, scat, and feet.      In Phys. Ed we are doing gymnastics! We practiced travels, balances and partner balances.          We celebrated Cultural Diversity Day on Wednesday. We designed flags, and many students wore their cultural clothing.            This linked well to our Social Studies learning, about how Canada is so diverse now, but how did that come to be?! We are learned about Samuel De Champlain (the father of New France), John Cabot and Jaques Cartier. They claimed land for England and France. This started the European settlers... We are working on Historical Skits about this too!  In Math we are working on Area and Perimeter, and discovering how 2 shapes can share the same area but have different perimeters.  We also focused on finding the measurements of sides when given the ...
