Dear Mom and Dad:
We have a new student teacher! His name is Mr. Link and he
will be with our triad everyday until the beginning of December. He is going to
teacher school to become a teacher and we are very excited to show him what
teaching will be all about. We added two new poems in our folders today. Ask me
to tell you what the poems were about.
We are working on number sense in math. We are in new math
groups today and began to talk about what representing numbers mean.
Mrs. Ly had Roots of Empathy today. Ask me to tell you what
story we listened to and what feelings we discussed.
In the afternoon we met with Mrs. Drissler. She is from a
program called “Grounds for Change” from the Calgary Zoo. We are thinking about
an outdoor learning space for our school! We went outside today to see if we can
find shapes and patterns in nature. We also talked about what it means if
something is manmade or natural.
We have a new dance teacher. Her name is Ms. Janelle, she
taught us how to swing today! So much fun! Ask me to show you some of the moves
I learned.
There has been a lot of mix ups with gloves, toques, hats,
scarves and snow pants. It would be really helpful if all of your child’s
belongings were labeled. Thank you very much!
Question of the day: what shapes and patterns can you find in your home or yard? Post your findings on the blog, also post if it is man made or natural material.
Love,
The Rainbow Triad
Housekeeping:
We have three blog postings for each teacher to post what
items you will be able to donate. Please post on the blog “Families helping
families” under your child’s teacher if you are able to help. Thank you so
much!
We
are going on a field trip to the Telus Sparks Centre on Wednesday November 19
for the entire school day. There are still a number of students who have not
returned their forms. Please make sure your child has returned their fieldtrip
forms ASAP. Children without signed forms will not be able to come on
We
are looking for materials that students can experiment with. If you, or your
neighbors have items such as: cereal boxes, paper towel rolls, coffee tins,
pringle cans, cardboard etc. Anything that we can build with! Thank you.
Tori will be bringing in a large bag of "building materials" on Monday.
ReplyDeleteMom and Ava are wearing pjs with patterns of stripes. Around the house we found our plates were round except for dads, his was square, and our glasses were like cyclinders. Everything was man made. The plants in the house have no real pattern or shape but were natural and not made by humans.
ReplyDeleteTaylor says, I see circles in the center of a flower, and on the heads of people on a picture, I see triangles on Hannah's dress, I see rectangles on the tv and the little chair, and I see squares on the fireplace tile and cupboards and the seat of the little chair.
ReplyDeleteTaylor also says the things were all man made.
