The market will include fruits, vegetables, drinks and other healthy snacks. It will be held in rooms 25, 28 and 29. The market will take place all day Thursday, January. 24th and Friday, January. 25th. All profits made will be donated to the Sick Kid’s Hospital.

Jump Rope for Heart – It is that time again! We will be participating in Jump Rope for Heart on Thursday, February 14th. Donation packages have been sent home. You can make a pledge using cash or you can donate on the website - jumpropeforheart.ca. House points will be rewarded to each student who brings in donations. If we meet our school goal of $2500, students will be rewarded with a fun activity. Let’s see what we can do SJA!
Happy Fantastic Friday!
We have reached our first reward line on the blurt jar. Way to go everyone! I was very impressed with how successful this has been so far
We had so much fun in the snow today during recess...
Daily 5: We started the day with daily 5 because Mlle. Jessica was covering a class. We worked on our cursive writing and reading. Miss. Gandy was able to pull some readers and complete some assessments.
Music: Next we had a music lesson with Mrs. Mcmillan. Please see her blog at https://mrsmcmillanmusic.blogspot.com
Math: Today we were introduced to our next unit, Data Management and Probability. We went over two types of graphs; bar graphs and pictographs. We talked about the similarities, differences and what needs to be included on both of them. Next children had to pull a tile from a bag, colour a square in the path, and replace the tile and repeat until one row was filled. There were 10 red tiles and 5 blue tiles. We had to think what colour would win and why? We realized that because there were more red tiles, they were more likely to win.
Inquiry into Language:Today students wrote their spelling test!
Agenda:
Book retell sheet due Monday
Get spelling and math test signed- return Monday
Read 15 minutes
Market January 24 and 25
Jump rope for heart fundraising
Unit of Inquiry:Today we brainstormed what we know about the word ‘Risk Taker’. We then read a story and had to think about how the little penguin was being a Risk Taker.
After we read we completed a sheet describing what we think being a risk-taker means and how we can be/have been one. We gave examples to the class of when we had been brave, tried new things or even went outside our comfort zones. I had some very good responses!
Thank you to my teacher helper Omar; you are always such a great help!
Please continue to work on the book retell with your child. Reminder it needs to be 3-5 minutes
Have a wonderful snowy weekend,
Miss Gandy
