Here is our learning for the week of Oct. 15. We had picture day on Thursday. Order forms will be sent home soon and you can order prints if you like. In science, we used Google Slides on the laptops to create a flow chart that explains how a product is made. We got to choose our own product and learned how to search for images on the web to add to our slides. In our visual journals we learned how to journal about architecture - we went outside and observed buildings and structures like the school, houses, the geo-dome and the playground.. On our walk to Confederation Park we focused on journalling about nature. We went swimming on Wednesday! REMEMBER: We have swimming on Monday and Wednesday next week!

Here is our learning for the week of September 23! Yesterday we participated in the Terry Fox Run! We ran around in the field in the freezing cold rain but we still had fun. We collected money for the Terry Fox Foundation. As a school we ran a total distance that would have taken us from Thunder Bay to Medicine Hat!  We started the Student Learning Assessments for the grade 3s this week. All students wrote about "If I Could Be A Teacher For A Day" and just the grade 3s answered literacy and math questions on an iPad while the grade 4s.........started FRENCH!
