India Presentation

We had special guests from (C.A.R.E) Central Alberta Refugee Effort come and teach us about their home country, India.

Remembrance Day

The kids did a lovely job of their poppies and of their poems about peace.  I am super proud of the six students who were picked to read their thoughts about peace at the assembly today.  Great job!

"Peace Is" Readers

Halloween!

Here are a couple of pictures of our Halloween party.  Thank you to everyone who sent party food for us to enjoy.

Haunted Houses

Over the last week, students been practicing adding elaborative detail to their writing.  I challenged them to write about a haunted house, using their five senses to help them with their descriptions and details.  How would they feel if they approached a haunted house?  What would they see, hear smell?  We drew and painted haunted house pictures to help with our creativity! 

Here are two samples of the stories.

Kickin' It Karate Math

The kids are making amazing progress with the Kickin' It Math Facts Karate Math program.  Students practice reciting basic math facts with a partner every day. After the oral practice, students write a timed test. After 4 consecutive 100% tests students move up a level and earn a "belt".

Witch legs

I love this art!  It's a fun project on perspective.  Check out all of the different witch personalities...you can see them just in their legs.  I love it!

Words Their Way

We are learning the routine of how to complete the Words Their Way individualized spelling program.  Here is a sample of the word sorts for three students. Students practice with individually picked spelling patterns/lists.
