PEEK
AT THE WEEK: October 15th to 18th
Just some inspiration for PE this week. Jumping rope takes some serious skill!
Mid
October…yikes! We are flying
through grade five!
• Please
note that it is short week for students!
Thursday afternoon and Friday morning are staff learning days and so the
children can stay home and play and I get to go to teacher school! Dismissal will be at 11:45 on
Thursday.
• Welcome
back to Constable Robinson this Tuesday!
He will be providing the second of our two B-Smart anti-bullying
lessons.
Other
Dates of Note:

24th- Hot Lunch
October
25th and 26th- Book Fair!
Language
Arts
As
part of our focus on reading, we are going to ‘Search for Science’ in
non-fiction books this week. As
well we will be completing our disgusting simile poems and reading more about
Hiccup’s adventures on the Isle of the Skullions!
Math
Students
completed their first unit test in math today and, if first appearances are any
indication, they did great! Whole
Numbers is our next unit and I will be sending home a note detailing what they
students are up against mathematically.
We are going to begin by writing, saying, and expanding numbers to one
million. Big number fun!
Science
Oh…
our wind vanes were really no match for the mighty Lethbridge breeze. Sometimes scientists fail. However it is what they learn along the
way that is important! Next stop,
clouds!
Art
Last
week we briefly looked at the color wheel and discussed the importance of value
to add depth to our pieces. As we
don’t have art this week, I will be sending their ‘tornadoes’ home with them
for the long weekend so they can keep rolling on them! They are lookin’ good!
Health
On
top of having our anti-bullying lessons with Constable Robinson this week, we
are also using our Health time to determine our personal pirate learning
styles. I have truly enjoyed
watching the students wrestle with this assignment. Their brains have been churning and each of them has had something
to say about what they are learning!
Pretty cool!
