Hello families and friends,
Today we started our day continuing doing our cleanup and getting our work organized. Thank you to those who brought their bags back today! If you can please keep sending them back with your child each day that will make the sending home of work much easier for them to manage. There are only two more days left of school, and I am trying to get them home in smaller chunks so as not to overburden them and the extra bag is very helpful for it! After that we did a writing reflection on our adventures in Sports Day yesterday. It was nice to hear the feedback on what the students thought of it. Then in gym we went outside and enjoyed the sunshine while playing our "Indiana Jones" game. We finished our morning with a couple rounds of Daily 5.
In the afternoon we started with our mental math and then worked on a couple of word problems. Ask your child about this. Then we went out to look at how our trees are changing. We finished off the day with our friends, looking at some information on sand dollars and started work on an art project.
Red folders no longer need to be sent back to school. They can stay at home for use of the Raz-Kids and Mathletics login information, which the students will continue to have access to over the summer.
Have a wonderful Wednesday,
Mr. Soulliere

Hello families and friends,
Today we started off with one round of Daily 5. Then in gym we went outside and we had some different activities that we could choose from. Ask your child what they did. After that we went to music and started off by singing some father's day songs. After music we did another round of Daily 5. Then we finished our morning with some sandwich making for the Mustard Seed.
In the afternoon we started with our mental math warmup. Then we went to our friends' class and started learning about sand dollars. After that we talked about the evacuation/fire drill that we were having today with Mrs. Wood. Then we did a quick round of Daily 5 before we had our fire drill/evacuation. We all did an awesome job!
Starting tomorrow, Mr. Soulliere will be sending home some of the work that we have done this year. Please bring in a bag to carry these things in.
Tomorrow is Sports Day. Dress for spending the afternoon outside.

Have a great afternoon,
Mr. Soulliere

Hello families and friends,
Just a reminder today that tonight is the Celebration of Learning! Families with last names A-N come from 6:00-6:45, and families with last names O-Z come from 7:00-7:45. Our class, along with our friends in Room 51, will be singing our songs for all of you. The students have been told that we will meet in the gym first thing at 6:00 or 7:00 for a quick 10 minutes to sing our songs and then they are free to go and look at the work. Thank you for your cooperation in this!
See you this evening,
Mr. Soulliere

Hello families and friends,
Today we started with two rounds of Daily 5. Then in gym we played hockey. After our snack we set up our work, then we walked around the Hope and Harmony wings to look at some of the work for the Celebration of Learning. Then we wrote about some of the things that we liked and wondered about the work that we saw.
In the afternoon we started with some instructional writing about what happens to trees in spring. Ask your child what they wrote about. Then we did some mental math and did some math around the work we have done with our branches. We found out that on all of the branches that we have been looking at, we have 106 more leaves now than when we first went out to observe!
Over the last couple days we did some work around figuring out how many more shoes we have in our school since it first opened. We figured out that there are 1208 more student shoes! That is a lot of shoes!
Have a great afternoon,
Room 74 and Mr. Soulliere

Hello families and friends,
Today we started off with a round of Daily 5. Then we did some writing about what we think is happening on our branches and the trees. Then we went swimming. In the afternoon we sang our three songs: Lighthouse Heart, Hina Na Ho, and Alberta Bound. Links to the songs and lyrics can be found at the bottom of this post. Then we finished off our day by going outside to do some more observations and measurements on the trees and our branches, and did a bark rubbing.
If there are any more yearbook order forms or picture order forms to be sent in please do that as soon as possible!
Tomorrow is our last day of swimming! In the comments below, post one thing that you have enjoyed or learned in our three days of swimming.

Hello families and friends,
Just a reminder that we are swimming tomorrow through Thursday this week. There has been a slight change in the time that we leave the school, but this does not change our swimming time; it is now scheduled to leave at 9:55. Please send your child's swimsuit and towel in a separate bag for them to keep the wet things in afterwards. Long hair should also be tied back.
Enjoy the beautiful day,
Mr. Soulliere

Hello families and friends,
Today we started off our day with some reflective writing about the book Big Bugs. Then in dance we learned a new type of dance. Ask your child about this. After that we did two rounds of Daily 5 with Raz-Kids and Mathletics.
In the afternoon we went outside to do some more measurements and observations on our trees. Ask your child what changes we are seeing. Then we did our mental math warmup and then we worked on creating our own word problems. After that we continued doing social studies writing for the three cities. Ask your child which city they are writing about.
Remember, next week we are swimming. Bring your swimsuit and towel in a separate bag so that you have something to put them in after when they are wet.
Library and home reading books are due back tomorrow!
Remember to keep practicing our Alberta Bound song!
