Late October

Working on our dioramas

We have enjoyed wrapping up projects from many subject areas this month. Some students have started to complete their final versions of their autobiographies. Students will have the option to publish their writing by posting it on the class bulletin board and may also post on their kidblogs once all accounts are set up and linked to our class blog. We are working on skip counting strategies in mental math and developing our problem solving skills. In French, we are beginning to write a counting book as a class project and in Health we completed a study guide last week to prepare for our term test this Wednesday, November 4th. Students who have completed their quilt art worked on dream sketches to prepare for our next art project. A professional artist, Claudia Evans-Menard, will be working with our class on our dream painting project this week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Our student team bloggers, Kaleb and Tipay, wrote an entry to highlight Science work with Mrs. Rogala:
We started thinking of ideas for our diorama. It's for a habitat, like grasslands, arctic, woodlands, and the tropical rain
forest. We worked in groups and we started making them out of plasticine, paint, cotton, and pipe cleaners in pizza boxes. We liked making them and we had fun. Hope you enjoyed reading!
