Students created their own individual t-shirt showcasing their own personalities. We created this interactive bulletin board to get to know our classmates better! Make a prediction and lift the "Guess Who" flap to see if your prediction is correct!
Exploring Rocks and Minerals
We shined up our rock collections and took a closer look at the difference between a rock and a mineral. Students also had a chance to group their rocks into different categories based on color, shape, size, and luster. We will continue to explore the properties of rocks and minerals in the weeks to come.
Healthy Relationships Vs. Unhealthy Relationships
In health we are identifying the different relationships in our own lives (teachers, friends, parents, etc.) as we determine the qualities of healthy and unhealthy relationships. This is a great unit to kick start our school year as we will be focusing on how to solve different problems with friends when relationships are unhealthy.
Literacy Buddies
This year our class will meet with Mr. Hart's grade 8 class once a week for literacy buddies. This is a chance for our younger students to get to know the other leaders within our building, while developing their reading and writing skills with one on one instruction from their buddy. Ask you child to tell you about their new reading buddy!
QSP Magazine Fundraiser
It's that time of year again! On Tuesday, we had our annual QSP Fundraiser assembly. Students were given information about how to collect magazine orders to raise money for our school. They also got to check out some pretty cool prizes on the prize-coaster. Envelopes with information and instructions were sent home with your child after the assembly.
