A kind reminder to book a time for Parent Teacher Interviews, if you have not done so yet, which will take place on the afternoon of Thursday, October 29, and Friday (October 30, 2020) morning.

No school on Friday.

We worked on understanding the sorting process of  recyclable, compostable and hazardous waste.

In social studies the students have learned about different strategies used by the Indigenous People to hunt buffaloes and  how they used each body part thus preventing wasting.

During the Land Based Learning the students have learned about sage and its usage.

Have a happy and safe Halloween!

 We were busy creating brochures to be used to visit different places around the world. In addition, we debated the Zoos' pluses and minuses in regard with animals health and happiness. We have shared our thoughts with grade 1/2 through a Google Meet Presentation. 

In math we worked on place value concepts such as thousands, hundreds, tens and ones; organize the numbers from smallest to largest and compare numbers.

During the science time the students used different resources to find answers to their questions about wetlands. In addition, we conducted two experiments proving that wetlands could prevent flooding and can filter the water.

Fitness centres were our focus during the gym period.

We create an ABC Wetland Book during the art time, to be shared with the kindergarten class.

In social studies we have learned about the immigrants that came to Canada in the 1900's.
