Thank you for your generous donations!  We surpassed our goal of $50 for the Terry Fox Foundation. In total, our classroom raised $133.25!!  Our class earned their movie and as an added bonus, I decided to provide some treats to go with the movie.   (We decided to watch the movie Jumanji)


Great job guys!!  The school grand total for donations has not been calculated yet.
















Language:

We continue to work on our personal narratives.  We also did some Terry Fox activities.  For one of the activities, students were asked to complete the sentences:

Some of our completed work:




Math:

We wrapped up our unit on data management (graphing).  Students complete a "Show what you know" assessment.  They will be sent home to be signed early next week.

Next week we will start to look at patterning for our new math unit.

Social Studies:

We started our unit on Communities in Canada 1780-1850. We discussed what we would see in our communities today, and what communities might have looked like 100 years ago.   We will start to look closely at some of the Canadian First Nations communities prior to European contact (the Wendat and Anishinabe) next week. 

Drama: We started to do some drama games this week
