Happy Friday!
This week we did a new activity called Group Writing. As students begin to develop an awareness of sequence and learn how to tell a story we engage in group writing. The students were given the picture below and asked to tell a story and give names to the pigs! They asked for the story to be posted so here it is!
In social studies, we are beginning to learn about rights and responsibilities that we have. We also learned about Sacred Buffalo Mountain aka Tunnel Mountain in Banff. If you have been to Banff you have probably heard of this mountain. The Indigenous people in the area call it Sleeping Buffalo Mountain because that is what it looks like! You can ask your child about the art we created inspired by this mountain. We also learned from a Metis Elder about the importance of the Buffalo and how this animal provides food, shelter, and clothing to the community.
Questions to ask your child:
-What does it mean to extend a pattern? Can you extend this pattern: red yellow blue blue red yellow blue blue
- What digraph did we learn about this week (TH). Can you make the soft and hard sound for TH? Can you say some words that have TH in them?
Kid Quotes:
-We did centres today and our spelling test. -Toleen
-We did art. We drew Sleeping Buffalo Mountain. -Nisha
-We did Acorn Art. We made trees and a snowy hill- Mirza
Reminders:
- Please continue to monitor the weather and send appropriate outdoor gear with your child to school each day.
- We have NO SCHOOL on Thursday AND Friday next week, therefore homework will be due on Friday, Nov 19 (you have 2 weeks to complete it).
ACORN ART
Your child will be bringing home a beautiful piece of art attached to an ACORN SCHOOL FUNDRAISING form. We have used this fundraiser for many years in the past and it is a great opportunity for parents to capture the art pieces of their children in a memory form.
Along with everything else through COVID, Acorn has also changed the way they do their orders. Please be sure to read the back of the order form, go online, take a picture of your child's artwork and upload for ordering. You can order your art pieces, get Christmas cards or postcards to share with family and friends or create a calendar to admire all year long.
Please be sure to place your order by midnight on November 14 as late orders will not be accepted on the system. You will be able to upload your artwork, place your order and pay online. All artwork will be delivered to the school and here by December for any of those Christmas orders you may need.
All funds raised will go towards school wide resources and events, such as: presentations, outdoor recess equipment, and in school field trips.
Thank you for your continued support of our school and our program!
Have a great weekend!
