Good afternoon,
This morning we did task cards for morning activity. We had to do five before we went to gym. Most students are now able to complete that many before gym
After gym, we read a bit more from our novel, Polar Bears Past Bedtime. We are working on a cross curricular unit on the arctic.
After recess, room 7 did a tidy up of the classroom and a movement break and room 8 had music. Following that, we all went to the learning commons.
This afternoon, we did quiet read. We did an excellent job of quietly reading today!
For the remainder of the day, we began our new unit on Nunavut. The students learned some facts about Nunavut and did the title page for our book. We drew the flag of Nunavut on the cover.
We will be building some Inuksuks for our unit. If students have SMALL rocks at home, they may bring them in for the project.
Reminder, tonight is the pizza party. Students must be accompanied by an adult. It is from 6-8.
Spelling test is tomorrow!
Mr. Fisher will be away tomorrow, Mrs. Fillmore will be in as a guest teacher.

Lots of Ketchup!
Good afternoon everyone!
We had a great day today, and started our morning with some Ketchup. We had some work that needed to get done included our Picture Prompt writing and our spelling words. We practiced our pyramid writing strategy to learn our words.
After gym, we continued with our novel that is tied into our Science and Social Studies unit on the Arctic and Hot/Cold. Our novel is called, "Polar Bears Past Bedtime", it is a Magic Tree House book by Mary Pope Osborne.
When we came back from recess, Ms. Zimmermann's class continued on unfinished work while Mr. Fisher's class went to music. We did some yoga before lunchtime to stretch out and relax.
After lunch, we started with a quiet read and moved into a partner read. We then read a fictional story about a tightrope walker which ties into the little study we are doing about daredevils. We spent the rest of the afternoon working on our Colour Wheel art and a thorough clean of the classroom.
REMINDERS:
Pizza Party and Dance tomorrow night from 6PM to 8PM.

Art Day!
Happy International Women's Day!
We started our morning with a Picture Prompt writing task. We used the following picture to write a small story. We used the frog lounging on the lily pad as our starting point. We heard some pretty fascinating stories from our bright minds who were willing to share!
Following gym, we celebrated International Women's Day by reading a story called, "Every Day is Malala Day" which discusses the young Malala Yousafzai who was shot in the head because she wanted to go to school. We also watched some short videos and talked about how in many countries women are still discriminated against and do not have the same rights as men.
After recess, Ms. Zimmermann's class went to music while Mr. Fisher's class read a story and did some work around that. We finished up before lunch with some math work that needed to be completed.
When we came back from lunch, we did some silent reading and partner reading. We decided that we hadn't done much art lately, so we started a project using warm and cool colours. They aren't quite finished yet, but we're convinced that they will turn out amazing.
There are no reminders for tonight.

Place Value
Good afternoon!
We started the day by writing about our weekends which we haven't done in a little while. When we came back from gym, we finished our Graphing Test from Friday because a lot of us had a few things to finish off before handing it in.
After recess, Mr. Fisher's class had music and when we were all back together, we learned our new spelling words for the week.
Group One:
have
give
love
from
live
friend
much
such
old
told
Group Two:
she
ship
shell
dish
make
came
shake
take
come
game
We continued with our silent reading after lunch, and then moved into Place Value which is a review for us. We went over the hundreds, tens, and ones and what number is in each spot.
For example:
1 3 6 =
HUNDREDS TENS ONES
1 3 6
We also visualized this number using a hundreds block, a tens, and single ones. Ask your child to share their learning about this with you!
REMINDERS:
Please return any Pizza Party and Dance forms for Parent Council. The dance is scheduled for THIS Thursday from 6-8PM.

Test Day!
Happy Friday!
Today was a busy day of learning with more than just one test. Our morning activity was fun and we got to play hangman and word scramble with our word wall words! We then did our spelling test before gym.
In gym today, we had a fun game and combined it with fitness. When we came back, we talked more about Niagara Falls and the daredevils who went over the falls in different kinds of barrels.
After recess, Ms. Zimmermann's class had music. Before lunch we worked on how to do our activities quietly
After lunch and silent reading, we started our Graph test in math. Most of us got it done, but we will take some time next week to finish it off.
REMINDERS:
Pizza Party and Dance next Thursday, March 10th from 6-8PM. Please return pizza slips WITHOUT money so Parent Council can determine interest.
Have a great weekend!

... more graphing!
Good afternoon!
Today was busy and filled with LOTS of math. We will be starting to work on addition and subtraction in the next 2 weeks so we did another math problem for morning activity. It is a multi-step problem that would total a two digit number; it includes addition, subtraction, and identifying odd and even numbers.
After gym, we continued to finish our book, The Queen of the Falls which were were reading to help with inferencing as part of Language Arts.
When we came in from recess, Ms. Zimmermann's class went to music while Mr. Fisher's class learned a new letter blend. Before lunch, Mr. Fisher's class went to library while Ms. Zimmermann's class learned the letter blend.
After lunch, we started with our silent reading again. We then moved onto graphing again. We learned about Pictographs today which are similar to Bar Graphs, but they use pictures instead of bars. Tomorrow we will wrap up any outstanding work on graphing before our review test on Friday afternoon! The students have been informed of this upcoming review since Monday.
REMINDERS:
Ms. Zimmermann's class has LIBRARY tomorrow. Please return any books in order to take out new materials.
Ms. Zimmermann's class had homework that was DUE TODAY! If these outstanding assignments are not handed in before the weekend, they will be assigned 'Incomplete'.
Review on graphing Friday... encourage students to study at home if they are struggling with this concept.

Graphing!
Good afternoon,
Today we started with math. For morning activity we were given the number 42. We had to do several things with our number, such as adding, subtracting, and counting on. This was helpful for us to see where the students are. We will soon be starting adding and subtracting, so this allows us to see what the students know.
After that we had gym. We are still working on basketball. Today we continued working on our passing. We passed to another person, making sure the ball bounced at least once.
Following gym, we finished up our reflection on Maya the Bee. We were to have 5 sentences and include something we liked, something we disliked, and something we would change.
After recess, room 7 had music and room 8 did a movement break. When room 7 came back from music we did language arts. We are working on making inferences while we read. We started reading a story about called, "Queen of the Falls." We will be finishing our story tomorrow.
This afternoon, we started with a quiet read. After our reading we continued working on graphing. Today we gathered some data from our classmates on their favourite things. We recorded our data using tally marks. Once we had collected our data, we made a bar graph to display it. Tomorrow, we will begin working on pictographs.
Room 7 has library tomorrow, please remember to return your books.
Have a great evening!
