Friday Wrap-Up

This is the last weekend for the Love of Reading fundraiser at Chapters Indigo! Have you watched the video yet? Please look at Monday's blog post! 

I need your help! Can you collect some natural items this weekend if you are out and about for a walk? We need leaves, sticks, stones and pine cones!! Thank you! Please send items in a grocery or ziplock bag! 

  • Wednesday was Orange Shirt Day.  We attended a virtual assembly hosted and created by the Grade 3 Students.  We listened to the stories "Stolen Words"  by Melanie Florence and "When We Were Alone" by David Robinson.  
  • We read the book "A Family is a Family is a Family" by Sara O'Leary, had a discussion about our families and who we live with and drew pictures of our families.  Students participated in a directed drawing session on how to draw people. 
  • We read the book "Being You" by Alexs Pate and created our own I AM statements.  We then created a patterned colour art piece for our classroom. 
  • We worked on representing the numbers 8, 9 and 10 in our math journals 
  • Science experiment Friday - ask your child about the "touch bag" experiment.  We learned about the word "hypothesis" and drew detailed sketches of the items we discovered
Coming Up Next Week:
- Community Walk on Tuesday afternoon from 12:30 - 1:20 with Ms. Thomson's class.  We will look for signs of fall in Fairview and around our school grounds.  
- No School Friday October 8 - PD Day
