It’s hard to believe it is December already!

The Grade 5’s has been working on creating Ancient Civilization projects highlighting civilizations around the world.  They have also been working with understanding area and perimeter as well as continuing to work on multiplication facts.  We worked on painting a winter night (kesikewaita’q) silhouette and discussed contrast between light and dark.

During December, we will be learning about creating comparative texts.  We will also be focusing on how to maintain a healthy self.  This will include mindful eating, nutritional and mental health.  Students will be encouraged to look at their own habits and how to keep themselves healthy and happy.

We hope that everyone has a safe and happy end to 2011.

Kwe’ from Grade Four,

December is here and we only have a few weeks left of year 2021. December will surely be an exciting and educational month. We are finishing off our first term units. In Science students are finishing up their habitat dioramas and their PowerPoint slides about their animal they researched. They will be presenting them to the class in the first week of December.  In Language Arts, we are well into the book called, The One and Only Ivan. Once we finish reading the book, we will watch the movie to compare and contrast.  In Math, we are currently learning about Perimeter & Area and Multiplication Facts. 

The Grade 4s will be doing a Secret Santa exchange for our Christmas party in December. A letter was sent home with a student’s name. To make it fair for everyone, we are asking that you only spend a maximum of $5 dollars.

Shout-out to Theresa Levi. Thank you for the Christmas fidget Toy Advent calendar. We will be doing daily draws to win a fidget toy. 

Happy Birthday shout-outs Isaiah Brooks on the 23^rd and Dallas on the 27^th.  Happy Birthday guys; we hope you enjoy your special day!

Nipi-Alasutmamk- Aqq Puna’ne’wimk- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

November was a month filled with lots of experiences that were both fun and educational. In literacy, our class explored a variety of fictional texts that expanded our knowledge of writing, listening and reading. Our school also commemorated Remembrance Day during the month of November with a ceremony announced over the PA system. Due to the COVID-19 our school wasn’t able to host the traditional type of Remembrance Day ceremony however, our school created a ceremony that included readings of poetry over the intercom, so that we could enjoy it from the safety of our classroom. Students also participated in an LSK poster contest, where students had to create a Remembrance Day themed poster. 

As the month of December sets it, we’ll continue working on literacy and math skills right up until Christmas break. The big difference is, this time of year is especially fun because Christmas themed activities can be sprinkled into as many lessons as it takes to get everyone in the Christmas spirit. Art and Music will both be heavily influenced by the theme of Christmas too. It’s an exciting time to be in the classroom because students had to attend school virtually around this time last year and now they’ll get to experience all the fun learning experiences and opportunities that come with the month of December.
