Welcome to our classroom blog

Working with technology and becoming media literate is a part of the curriculum so we've decided to start a classroom blog. Here you can keep up to date with the latest classroom news, upcoming class and school events and homework assignments.

Show some school spirit!

Next week is SPIRIT WEEK! Just a reminder about it:
Monday - 80's Day
Tuesday - Valetine's Day
Wednesday - Crazy  Hair Day
Thursday - PJ Day
Friday - AJ Day

Also, we have a few fundraisers underway:
Helping Hand mittens for the new playground - our class is currently in the top 5! Great job everyone!
Penny Drive for the library - bring in any unrolled pennies or change - prize for top class - Sundae Day and prizes for top student as well
We have an upcomming fundraiser involving themed baskets that we will sell raffle tickets for. This will be done to raise the last bit of money for the brick by brick campaign for the school in Kenya. Each class will be making up a basket with donated items from students and families and teacher. Our theme is "movie night" so you can start thinking of ideas.
Candy grams for Valentine's day are one sale for $1.
Finally, a few students from the grade 4 class wanted to help the brick by brick foundation as well and we have made bookmarks that are being sold in class and soon to the rest of the school for $0.25 each or 5 for $1.
I know it is a lot of fund raising but the idea is that everyone doing just a little will produce big results.

I got to go to a PRIME workshop and am very excited to continue working with everyone to develop our numeracy skills in math. Currently we are working with fractions and decimals.
Try and find some ways you use estimation everyday.

In Language we are working on inferring and text features as our critical pathway.

We have started a new unit in science about pulleys and gears.

Finally, public service announcements will begin filming next week!
