Hello families, 

Here's our weekly update! 

In science we have returned to our focus on Earth Systems. We learned a little bit about environmentalism and caring for the Earth. We also learned a bit about extreme weather and the impact it can have on the environment, and looked at different types of landforms! 



 

 

In social studies, we continued our learning about The Seven Sacred Teachings. We learned about the eagle and how it represents love. One comment that resonated with me from Elder Hazel's video is that we are never too busy to be kind, caring and patient. We started working on some scratch art - students will be scratching an eagle feather into the black paint next week! 




In math, students completed a bit of a summative assessment in measurement to see if we are ready to move on to the next concept. We also started a fun zoo design project that students have been really excited about. We will finish this up next week! 


In literacy we started learning about alliteration! Students are excited to work on an ice cream project next week where they will be designing ice cream flavours using alliteration! We're also about half way through The Wild Robot and are continuing to enjoy following along with Roz and Brightbill! It's also that time of year again for government assessments! Some students will have to complete literacy and numeracy assessment in the upcoming weeks. 



Here are our words for next week: 

In health and wellness, we started learning about healthy eating! We started by reading "I Am Picky" and students drew and labelled their food likes and dislikes. We also then learned about healthy vs unhealthy food. We had a big talk about it being ok to eat unhealthy sometimes and that as children, they don't always have control over their food choices. We also talked about how eating healthy can be expensive! Students enjoyed using the iPads to play a couple of games where they could sort healthy and unhealthy foods. 






For next week, I want students to learn about the food groups and do a food sort. I asked AI to create an image for me with different foods for students to cut out and sort into groups. Something did not compute and it gave me this picture. We had a good laugh about how silly it is, given that we've been discussing robots and AI a little bit, so I thought I'd share to give you a laugh too.

Hello families,  We had a great week in room 11!  The highlight of our week was our field trip to Studio Bell. Students learned about sound, pitch, volume and rhythm. They had so much fun exploring different musical instruments! Thanks so much to the volunteers who were able to join us. This year we are also planning a field trip to the new SAM Centre at Stampede Park and the Zoo!                        I learned at Studio Bell that students do not know many (if any) Canadian musicians. So, during snack time we're having "Canadian Musician Appreciation Time" - we are listening to different Canadian artists and deciding if we enjoy the music or not. This week we listened to The Tragically Hip and Corey Hart (they had "the sunglasses" at Studio Bell). They also don't know The Beatles so we'll have to listen to some of their songs as well!  This week in science we also wrapped up our learning about matter, including...

Hello families,  My apologies again about not making a blog post last week! Here's what we got up to this week:  We enjoyed spending lots of time with Elder Shirley on Wednesday morning. She walked students through a smudge and talked about some of the sacred medicines. She taught us how to hoop dance and how we can tell a story using our bodies and the hoops. We also enjoyed spending time outside with the hoops and some stuffed animal friends. We performed some hoop dancing for Ms. Zimmer's class and then enjoyed watching Elder Shirley perform some hoop dancing. We also met her mischievous bear friend, Lemon!          We're continuing to learn about the Indigenous Seven Sacred Teachings. This week we learned about the teaching of honesty which is represented by the Sabe. Students wrote about a time when they showed honesty. We also read a story called Finn's Little Fibs by Tom Percival and students used loose parts to create a time when they fibbed....

Our first two days of school in room 11 were great! We enjoyed reading some stories together, getting to know each other and our classroom space, and students enjoyed exploring different work choices together in the classroom. We've also already celebrated two birthdays in the classroom! We had gym outside on Thursday and Friday and are looking forward to joining Ms. Zimmer's class for gym next week!    We talked a lot about different expectations at school and why it's important to follow the classroom expectations. I always use my cat, Eli, to show listening expectations on the carpet.  A notice from School Council came home today! (At least one was found on the ground so I just wanted to make sure everyone saw)   Soft Entry We will be starting "Soft Entry" on Wednesday, September 4th. This means that students can arrive between 8:00-8:10 am, come through the garden doors and walk down to their classrooms. The teachers will be on supervision at the door, in the ...
