End of September

Our Terry Fox Run and the Following Recess

We have continued with the same themes in all subject areas this past week. Students are working on revising their autobiographies in English Language Arts after I demonstrated a revision of my own autobiography. The students are also organizing the class library, so that the class gets to make choices about the placement of books they read daily. Spelling lists will be sent home for extra practice by October 9th and I will send out a  message on the class Remind service when this occurs.
We have been focusing on our math centers this past week and will be practising to make sure they run smoothly this coming week. In French, we started our calendar routine and we are wrapping up our quilt art in Visual Arts.

This past week, I met with a professional artist, Claudia Evans-Menard, a former teacher who will be working with our class on a painting project in early November. I decided to change the year plan a bit because of this wonderful opportunity and will post an updated plan soon. Our dream study in English Language Arts and dream painting in Visual Arts will take place in November and December.

Our student team blogger, Dylan, has a highlight to share with you as well:

Team 15's Terry Fox Word Graffiti

This week on Sept. 30 we did a Terry Fox Run in the field. We went in a giant oval. We could run, skip and walk. We walked for about 15 minutes until recess. Room 15 did a word graffiti about Terry Fox! I wrote about Terry Fox because he's a really good person!
