Sept 24-28

Thank you for coming to our Intake Conferences last week!
In Room 5 this week, students have written Acrostic poems with a Fall theme. These have gone into their Visual Journals. We have done some writing about Manners and something that was difficult to do but we persevered through (using Terry Fox as an example). The Terry Fox Run was Thursday afternoon.
In Math, we have been working on basic facts- noticing patterns, drawing numbers with Base Ten blocks, and arranging them in our Visual Journals.
We also began our Science unit on Liquids and managed to stay mostly dry!

Welcome to Room 5's Blog!

Hello Parents of Room 5 students!
This will be our weekly blog where I will let you know about some of the week's activities, upcoming events, and field trips, etc.
We have settled in to most of our routines this week. It's great to see a large group of students treating each other with respect and care.
We watched the construction outside our window for a while on Thursday, since we had to remain indoors during recess. We should be able to enjoy outdoor recess breaks again next week.
Intake Conferences are happening this coming Thursday and Friday! Please sign up for a time that works for you. Your child is welcome to attend as well. These conferences are a chance for you to share any information about your child with me that you feel would benefit their progress this year. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts.
We do have a field trip to Heritage Park coming up in late October as part of our "Early Calgary" unit in Social Studies. We will need a few parent volunteers to accompany us, so let me know if you have your CBE clearance and would like to help out on Oct. 24. Lots more info coming home soon!
Thank you,
Ian
