October 29 - November 2

Thank you to all of the parents and students who attended curriculum sharing night last Thursday. It was great to see everyone and to share with the parents all of the hard work we have done so far this year!

This week will be focusing on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Students will begin to look at the Charter and how it impacts their lives and the lives all people living in Canada.

On Wednesday we will be working with Ms. Baillargeon to start Literacy Centre's. Students will be divided into groups of 5-6 and will work through a series of centre's that will work to improve their literacy skills. We hope to run these centre's each Wednesday from now on.

September 24-28

Last week we started our new daily routines.
Monday's we will be doing Visual Vocabulary. This will focus on our social studies terms.
Tuesday's we will be focusing on Current Events. Each week we will choose a different event to discuss as a class.
Wednesday's we will be completing Word Work to build upon and improve student vocabulary.
Thursday's we will be focusing on Geography. Last week we reviewed the 10 Provinces and 3 Territories of Canada.

We also finished reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last week. This week students will get to watch the movie. Prior to watching the film students will review and learn about Elements of a story (Characters, Setting, Plot, Conflict and Resolution). We will compare and contrast the differences between the book and the movie after watching!

A friendly reminder that there is no school next week!
