Today was the dance performance following our 2-week experience with SoundKreations. We worked hard learning a hip hop and Caribbean dance. While many kids were nervous about sharing them in front of the school and parents, they did a great job! Thank you to all of the parents who made it out on a very cold day to support the kids!
We've been working on Literacy Centers the last 2 weeks. The students rotate through different centers all focused on Literacy. Ms. Rutland has really enjoyed working with all the groups in guided reading - and lots of neat comics and words games are being explored.
Mrs. Gartner did a cool light and shadow visual art piece with our class this week. The images will be available via GoogleDrive link as soon as possible!
In Social Studies, students are divided into groups to learn about the regions of Alberta (Grade 4) and the regions of Canada (Grade 5). The Grade 4's had to first design a new Alberta flag based on what they saw as the most important land and resources in the provinces. Check out their video on Iris explaining the flag design. The Grade 5's are beginning to research a region of Canada to create a Google Slide presentation.
Math groups are continuing - with all groups either beginning or continuing with multiplication and division next week. Grade 4's need to have automatic recall of multiplication and division facts up to 7x7 and Grade 5's up to 9x9 - so keep practicing at home!
We are looking forward to finishing our Jen Aranyi inspired landscape art next week. Check back for the finished results next week!
