May 11, 2015

Hello families and friends,

Today we started our day talking about our "buckets", and ways that we can help to keep them full and to fill others'.  Ask your child what they came up with.  Then in gym we started working on our basketball dribbling skills.  They even tried crossovers and under the leg!  After that the students went to music.  Ask them what they have been working on.  We finished off our morning with two rounds of Daily 5.

In the afternoon, we started with our mental math warm up.  Then we finished filling in our tables with the information that we had gathered up to this point on our branches, and went outside to observe them and do our measurements again.  We also started doing a guided drawing of a tree.  We finished off our day with our last look at Iqaluit, Nunavut.

What is something that you learned about Iqaluit, Nunavut in your groups?  Post your answer in the comments below.

There are still a few swim forms that I am waiting on.  These need to be in as soon as possible, as the office will be collecting them shortly.

With the weather beginning to warm up, the class will be starting to spend more time outside.  Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for any weather that may happen each day and that they have footwear that is suitable for a lot of moving around and running, as we will likely start having outdoor phys. ed. again soon.

Have a great evening,
Mr. Soulliere
