We would like to say a big congratulations to the children and families for all of their efforts in completing EQAO standardized testing. The students stayed motivated and tried their best every day last week.
Language: We are continuing to read Harry Potter (the first novel in the series). We are working on our listening comprehension skills and using various Kahoots to see if we are understanding what has been read to us.
Science: We are studying everything we can about plants and are working on an independent project on a plant of our choice!
Drama: Students are working very hard on their reader's theatre play. They are using expression, tone of voice, and a clear voice to act as their character.
Music: We are beginning to learn about the different instrument families and how they make sounds (woodwinds, strings, brass, percussion). Each student will begin a research project about an instrument of their choice and present them to the class so we may all learn more about the different instruments played in our world!
Harry Potter Party - June 17th
Students are asked to arrive at school wearing a white shirt if possible or other wizard attire! We would love to make our party very special for your children and we need your help please. A big part of the Harry Potter world centres around the feast in the great hall at Hogwarts. We will be transforming our classrooms into this hall and would love if students were able to bring their own special lunch with a few Harry Potter themed items. Since we are not able to share food within the classroom, (many various allergies etc.) we encourage you to be as creative as possible with your own child's lunch and snacks that day. Here are a few suggested websites where you can get some great ideas:
