End of the Year

kstrachan — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:07:46 +0000

The last day of school is coming quickly. Today I would like you to leave a comment about your favourite experience of this school year. I would also like you to reflect on your learning for the year. Write about what you liked or didn’t like, what you learned and how you feel you progressed as a learner. You should have one or two paragraphs. Don’t forget to edit!

We have been watching the Peregrine Falcons in Winnipeg and have been generating lots of thick questions. We don’t have all the answers to these questions so we have decided to write them down and see if we can start to find the answers.

Thursday evening post your question on the blog. Anytime on Friday or after please feel free to answer your question or a question another student asked. To answer the question leave a comment or reply to the comment where the question was written, so we can keep the questions and answers together. Keep checking the blog for the answers and don’t forget to contact community resources to help you.

Have fun watching the falcons!

100th Anniversary

kstrachan — Thu, 14 May 2009 02:38:22 +0000

Our 100th anniversary celebration is coming up next and all the students in grades 3 and 4 have been demonstrating just how well they can work as part of a group. We will likely spend some time each day until next Wednesday working on finishing our projects. Students are encouraged to bring any supplies they need from home and communicate difficulties with their teachers. I hope you can all join us next Thursday, not only to see the great projects but to also watch our dances through the decades.

Welcome Back

It is hard to believe we only have three months of this school year left, it has gone by very quickly. I have updated the month at a glance page and we will soon have several student posts on the blog. We have adopted three tadpoles from a lake in Ontario. We are hoping to raise these tadpoles until they become frogs and then I will return them to their lake. The students will be updating us on the progress of the tadpoles weekly.

We will be starting home reading again tonight along with a French comprehension activity Thursday. The multiplication quiz will also be Thursday this week due to Friday being a holiday.

French Comprehension

Just a reminder that the French comprehension sheets are due each Wednesday. The students are to choose a Tumblebook in French or watch a French cartoon or tv program and complete a reflection sheet. I have changed the activity slightly this week to hopefully give the students a better opportunity to express the story in their own words and to share their thoughts.

Multiplication

Keep working on your multiplication facts. The links on the right are great sites to help you practice and have fun at the same time.
