HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

A good portion of our week was devoted to the "Student Learning Assessments" (SLAs). On Wednesday, the students wrote the Literacy portion of the test and on Thursday they wrote the Numeracy. Next week we will have the students write both the Literacy and Numeracy online tests. Then the students will be done!!! :) If you would like more information about this, please go to...




Math review will continue next week. We will be sending home their review assignment along with all of the work they have completed so far for "Patterns and Relations". We hope to have the unit test during the week of the 20th. The date will be sent home in your child's planner next week, as well as an email.

We will be finishing our novel study, "Freckle Juice". All of the students have enjoyed reading this book. They will be bringing it home next weekend to read with you. 

We are wrapping up our Social Studies Mapping unit. We have taken a quick look at the continents and are now learning the provinces in Canada in relation to where we live. We hope to fly to India very soon! I am sure the students are getting excited to "pack their bags". 

Student's finished their "Rock Hound" assignment, online. We will be testing minerals next, looking at properties such as hardness, lustre and texture. 


This week in Art, the class painted pet rocks! 







Throughout the month of October, the Robina Baker students have been learning about GRATITUDE during the Character Ed assemblies on Friday. Our class, along with 1K, will be performing a song about GRATITUDE during the assembly, on Friday, October 24th. Parents are more than welcome to attend!

Please go onto Power School in order to give your child permission to attend the Oil King's game. There is also a small fee for the bus that needs to be paid. We realize the students will not get home until very late after the game. It will be after everyone's bedtime, including ours! :) This is a wonderful opportunity for the students to celebrate as a class. They have all worked sooooooooo hard on their home reading and we are proud of all of them. 

Just a reminder that there will be no school on Monday or Tuesday. Monday is Thanksgiving and Tuesday is PD day for teachers. We will see you all back at school on Wednesday. Since it is a short week, there will be no Spelling for our class. 

We wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.
