Interviews

On Wednesday we spent the first part of the afternoon at Creighton Lodge. This was a great experience for the students and the residents of Creighton Lodge were beyond happy to see the all of the kids and answer their questions. In ELA and Social Studies, we have been learning about who first settled in Canada and more specifically, have been looking at our province of Saskatchewan. We have learned about the settlers and what they did on the prairies. We interviewed the residents to see what life was like when they were young and compared it to now to understand how things have changed.

 

 

 

The grade fours did an awesome job at being bucket fillers at Creighton Lodge :)

 

 

In other news, the new Week At A Glance has been posted.

 

Student led conference are next week, we are spending some time on Monday and Tuesday practicing in partners so everyone feels comfortable and confident showing off their work to you all.

 

Report cards go home on Monday.

 

 

Everyone needs to bring a piece of cardboard to school for Art on Tuesday and any things found outdoors that they would want to use for their project like rocks and twigs or indoor items like toothpicks or clothespins, etc. Ask your child what they are going to be creating!

 

 

A big thank you goes out to all of you that have been sending pennies and small change with your child to school. The grade fours are currently in the lead with for the "Spread the Net" fundraiser our school is doing. The grade sevens are only a couple dollars behind us, so the competition is close!

 

 

Fundraiser sheets for the playground were sent home in the agendas. We are selling Sobey's gift cards - a great gift idea for the Christmas season!

 

 

Enjoy the weekend,

It's that time....

Report cards and interviews are right around the corner and we are busy trying to get all the different activties and projects we are working on completed so you all have lots to see and hear about during interviews. In math we are finishing up on estimation and moving on to mental math, in ELA we have just finished writing a piece on the early settlers and are going to go to Creighton Lodge on Wednesday to interview some of the residents to see what life was like back then and compare it to how it is now. Permission slips will be going home soon for this. In social we are researching First Nation and Metis leaders and artists and we will be looking at how their culture is still present in SK today and what other cultures make up SK as multicultural week starts next week.

Just a friendly reminder to let me know if your child is going to be away, if they are gone for a couple of days or more, I can prepare some things ahead of time for them to get finished before they leave.

A new week at a glance has been posted!

Have a great week!
