Assembly and Ozobots

Today we had our Remembrance Day assembly. Students were very respectful and it was a lovely assembly to recognize the importance of this day. We hope you spend time together this long weekend.



We also worked with our buddies today to explore the Ozobots. Students will have the opportunity to share these robots with you at our celebration of learning in a couple weeks!

art rubric

Please have a look in your child's folder for their Diwali fireworks art.  It came home Wednesday.  Please keep the art at home and return the rubric.  Thanks!

Patterning assessment

Students are bringing home a patterning assessment today. It is a glance at how they're doing with creating, extending, and describing repeating patterns. There is no rubric attached. Please look through the document with your child and talk about their patterns. Sign and return the form at your earliest convenience.

Shapes in our environment

  . 

Today we started talking about 2D shapes. We identified a variety of familiar 2D shapes. We noticed that 2D shapes are present in our environment, everywhere, so we went on a hunt to find them. Students chose 4 shapes and explored our classroom to see where they could see these 2D shapes as part of 3D real-life objects

Please remember, tomorrow is our school-wide Remembrance Day assembly and there will be no school Monday.

Tools for numerical literacy

Today we looked at number lines and hundred charts as tools for adding and subtracting.

We talked about how when we move right on a number line the quantities become greater and as we move to the left the quantities become lesser.

Some number lines have labelled increments, while open number lines are blank and the learner add the numbers they are working with.

One hundred charts increase and decrease by one as we move right and left like a number line.  When we travel up and down the columns we add and subtract ten.
7 , 17, 27, 37, 47.......      62, 52, 42, 32, 22, 12...

Thanks for all the building supplies sent in so far.  Keep them coming, we will be able to make some great projects with them.

REMINDER:  Remembrance Day assembly on Friday and no school on Monday.

Building materials needed!

 
Today we played with LEGO and it was awesome! We're starting our Building Things unit and science and need your help. We're going to be building a variety of things so we'd like to ask for you to send in some recyclables. We brainstormed a list of materials that we thought would make great building materials. Please see our list below and contribute what you can. We'll start collecting right away. The sooner we get the materials, the sooner we can start building!

Science Test

This science test went home on Thursday last week. It's very important that you sign it and send it back. If you have questions or concerns, please contact one of the teachers.
