Hello Families,
Here are some of the interesting things that we did this week:
- We had the opportunity to work with our amazing Artist in Residence Ms. Sharon! The students had an amazing time learning about various art techniques, different mediums and the planning that goes into a large scale art piece. Together we worked on a cooperative piece with the other Grade 5/6 classes, which connects to our year long learning of Old Enough to Make Change. Stemming from our experience of recognizing the importance and influence that public art can have on a community, the students created an art piece to hang on the garden fence, which speaks to their knowledge of water, its significance in all of the places that it can be found and the importance of conservation. Stay tuned for more information about when and where instillation will take place.
- started the week with a basic division review. Students made great connections by discussing how multiplication and division are the opposite of each other and reviewed related math vocabulary. The worked on their basic fact fluency through playing math games and then moved into learning the process
of long division.
- Family Literacy Day! It was so nice to see families join us for a portion of our day and engage in some literacy tasks. Just in case you missed it, below is a link to some literacy games that you can play at home. All games can be personalized for every student to support wherever they are on their literacy journey.
- Your child had the opportunity to listen to the Late French Immersion Program Presentation which is offered at David Thompson School in grade 7. You can also visit the David Thompson School website for more information or contact Mrs. Isabelle Korpela, the Assistant Principal for specific questions. Also, take a look at their upcoming Open House information.
