News for June 16




It was a busy week with our concert, primary play day and finishing our pioneer village project.
In math, the children reviewed math concepts covered this year. In geometry, they looked at 2D and 3D geometry vocabulary. They reviewed interpreting surveys, bar graphs and pictographs.
In social studies, the students finished the unit by working in groups to finish and present their pioneer village research. The video of the presentations can be seen in a separate posting.
The children are working hard to create their sock monkeys! This week, the students finished the bodies and sewed on the two arms of their stuffed animals.
The children created cards for Father's Day and made and wrapped gifts as well.
The class spent a lot of time this week rehearsing for the school concert. All their hard work paid off, because their performance was INCREDIBLE. Well done! A video of the rehearsal performance for the primary classes, can be seen in a separate posting.
On Friday morning, the primary students had their Canada themed PLAY DAY. The children did lots of fun activities and they even sang "Happy Birthday" to Canada for it's 150th birthday!
Finally, since the gym teacher was not available for our gym period at the end of the day...I took the children and taught the gym class. There were skipping challenges and a lively game of "Octopus" which was changed to "Glovetopus" as a connection to the stuffies the class made a few months ago.

High Times - A History of Aviation by Doris Freigofas and Daniel Dolz
Panorama: A Foldout Book by Fani Marceau
Open This Little Book by Jesse Klausmeier
