I hope you had a great weekend and got out to play in the snow.
This week we were very busy getting ready for the first of the two Winter Concerts. A big "Thank you" and "Congratulations!" to all the students who made it to Thursday evenings performance. This week's concert is not one that our whole class is participating. Instead we wish our two Pebbles choir members well on Thursday evening.
We have also been working on our "Wanted/Missing" posters for the Lorax or the Once-ler. We have had many great discussions about the two different view points, using the inside/out or role on the wall activity to record our thoughts. We used this information to help us perform dialogues in role. A few of our brave students even volunteered to perform in our class "fishbowl".
We have moved into the study of colour in art and worked with colour blending. This coming week we will be exploring warm and cool colours, as well as contrast.
In math, we have begun to look at the different attributes of two dimensional shapes. It is amazing how many different quadrilaterals we
can create!
We are also continuing with our "12 Days of Mashup Math" challenges.
Please remember to send in your field trip forms for Crawford Lake. They are due this Tuesday, December 13th. We are looking forward to introducing our new Social Studies unit, focusing on First Nations and European Settlers (Communities in Canada, 1780–1850), with this amazing trip.
Have a great week and enjoy the snow!
Ms. Sparling
