Hello Families,
Some of the exciting things that we did this week were:
- Participating and discussing several important dates/events that took place this week; marking the passing of Queen Elizabeth II with a CBE wide moment of silence, taking part in the Terry Fox Run and reflecting on what peace means to each of us on the the International Day of Peace
- Discussing the importance of complete and descriptive sentences, by working with subject and predicate work and identifying sentence fragments and creating complete ones. Students also began looking a simple sentences and how to effectively change them into descriptive compound sentences.
- Continuing to explore place value up to the 10 millions by participating in a number scavenger hunt, practicing the various ways to express a number, finding examples of where we find place value in the real world and demonstrating their understanding by creating a personalized reflection piece.
- Participating in our first sit spot with our buddies. Students gathered in the school garden and found a spot that felt peaceful. They then selected a living thing to sketch, applying taught techniques, followed by recording descriptive labels. Students acted as helpful buddies by guiding their buddies in setting up their sketchbook page with the date, season and temperature, as well as labelling their sketches.
- Gathering to celebrate the LBS community at the open house. It was wonderful to meet parents, have students give them a tour of the classroom and for families to have a chance to connect in our schoolyard. Thank you to Parent Council for providing the delicious ice cream treat!
- We are still looking for parent volunteers to join us at City Hall School the week of October 31st-November 4th! You do not need to be available all five days to volunteer. We would be happy for you to have you with us one or more days. Volunteers must have an up to date police clearance to join us. If you would like to have one completed or check the status of you current clearance, please contact the LBS front office for information.
- Scholastic book orders went home today. If you would like to order online, our class code is: RC756002
