The students participated in Drumfit this week for gym class. Mr. Henderson taught them a variety of movement combinations to different songs. For the final day, the students took turns volunteering to lead the class in some of their favourite drumfit moves.
For Language Arts, we worked on our All About Me writing. The students have now completed 5 different paragraphs for their booklet. They will begin illustrating next week.
The students also worked on creating detailed sentences using their spelling words this week. Their sentence structure and word choices have really improved.
We also completed another reading comprehension test. The students were given reading material at their current level and after reading the passage to themselves, they were required to answer 3-5 questions. This test was sent home on Thursday.
In Math, we worked on our Fractions Unit. The students really enjoyed this short unit and caught on quickly. We talked about a fraction being an equal part of a whole and experimented with paper folding and blocks to show the equal portions.
As a review for Fractions, the students got into small groups to play Fraction Bingo. We will have a short quiz on Monday.
In Social, we continued to pull important information from our textbook on Ukraine's environment, culture, blah blah blah and began our goggle slideshow presentations. The students have been exploring the various ways to create exciting slides and have began to put their jot notes into organized paragraphs for each slide. We are very excited to see the final products!
This week for Art, we had the opportunity to work with 4 Cats Art Studio from Leduc. We were taught how to use chalk pastels and acrylic on canvas. The students created paintings that were inspired by an artist named Edgar Degas. An open house will take place on Monday, May 9th from 3:30-6:00 for you to come enjoy the art done by all of the students in the school. We hope to see you at the "Celebration of the Masters"!
Congratulations to our readers!!
At this week's assembly we were awarded with the Golden Garbage Can award! Way to go 3B!
Our new Student of the Week!!!
