Happening This Week! (October 2 - 6)

We have a short but busy week ahead! We continue to collect money for the Terry Fox Run which takes place this coming Wednesday! The forecast is looking perfect for a day of celebration, starting with a run/walk through the neighbourhood, and finishing with a bbq and plenty of entertainment!

In math this week we will be exploring square roots and perfect squares. Check out your Workspace for videos and games that you can preview starting today. All activities are light blue.

In phys. ed we will be heading outside for the week to learn Flag Rugby. Bring a sweater for these chilly Fall mornings.

We won't have any history classes this week due to the Terry Fox Run on Wednesday and the PA Day on Friday. Thank-you for your participating in honouring every child by wearing Orange on Friday. If you have not handed in your hand, you can do that any day this week.

Looking forward to many exciting events this week, ending with a long weekend to spend time with friends and family!

Ms.D

Phew!  What a week we had! Hope everyone had a chance to catch their breath after a busy and active first week! This week promises to be another busy one, with many sports and clubs beginning, and Meet the teacher on Thursday evening.

Happening This Week (September 18-22)

It was so nice to meet so many of you this past Thursday! I am lucky to have students that have such enthusiastic and supportive parents! If you were unable to make it, no problem, ask your son/daughter to pick you up a Tips For Success handout. Last week we had our first Show What You Know on Friday. Students will receive these back and bring them home to be signed this week. This week we will be exploring the Rules of Divisibility and using them to determine the factors and GCF's of numbers. Check out some of the new additions to our Number Sense Workspace. We will have some Check-Ins along the way, but no summative assessments until the following week. As we will be using our Workspaces on a regular basis, it is important for students to bring their laptops or chromebooks to each class.

Happening This Week (Sept. 25-29)

With temperatures like this, it's hard to believe we are heading into the last week of September! I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the sunshine this weekend. Looking forward to reviewing our Multiples SWYK on Monday and Tuesday. We will explore what "mastery" looks like, and work on our math communication skills. This week we will also be continuing to explore factors and will be looking at primes and composites. We will most likely be finishing out the week with another SWYK. Don't forget extra math help is available at lunch Monday-Thursday, as posted throughout the hallways. In Phys. Ed. we will be indoors honing our basketball skills, and in history I look forward to receiving your "Why Study History?" advertisements, that are due at the start of class on Weds. Please remember our very important Terry Fox fundraiser as we head into the week. This cause is so important and it is one that touches each of us in some way, as you saw during last w...
