September 9 - Day 5

Today we . . . 

"We had story workshop, math, recess, and building time at the end of the day." - JGRS

"We talked about how we take care of our school and all around"  (Care for Place) - AA

"We played wax museum statue game at gym time." - RG

"We worked on balances in gym." - MW

"We brainstormed different landforms in Social Studies and then we drew them."






We started on story workshop today and everyone really enjoyed the process of physically building their stories.  The grade ones focused on thinking about a basic story structure (beginning, middle, end) and worked on drawing 4 star pictures using our classroom rubric.  They used a provided sentence starter to help them identify an element of their stories.  The grade twos have been working on developing their characters, identifying a problem, and working towards a solution. 

Just a few reminders for the week - 

Please remember send in all of the forms in the welcome back package that was sent home on the first day of school.


We will be participating in the Terry Fox Run on Thursday afternoon.  Students are encouraged to bring in a toonie to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation.  We are also looking for a few volunteers to help mark popsicle sticks as students finish laps.

We always enjoy visitors in the classroom but please remember that due to safety regulations all parents must check-in with the office before coming upstairs.


Farewell!!
