TWAS June 21
Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the first day of summer!! We should definitely have an abundance of summer flowers with all of this rain!
So unfortunately Sports Day was cancelled this week, because of the weather. As disappointing as it must have been for the the children, they were so good about it!! We'll try again next week, but it's still looking a little chilly so best to keep this in mind when thinking about clothing options in the morning. We also have our assembly and family picnic next week, so please don't hesitate to send me an email if you need clarification or date/time details. The students have been working so hard and the assembly is coming together so well looks great.
We still had a lot things to work on this week. Almost everyone finished researching about their critter and is beginning to put all of that information together with some beautiful pictures on a poster presentation. We've also continued to learn about our neighbour province, Saskatchewan. This week the focus was on the Indigenous peoples who have called that beautiful part of our world home, for thousands of years, and some of the traditions that came with Ukrainian settlers over the last 100 + years.
We have really been working on our math addition and subtraction facts so that they are solid skills for the children to take with into grade 3. Some of us learned a fun game called 'bust 21' (it may be familiar to many of you), and we have been doing lots of whole class regrouping practice.
Here is a math problem that we were working on:
On Old McDonald's farm I saw 20 legs. How many cows, sheep and chickens did I see?
We had some wonderful theatre box performances, and have sent the theaters home with anyone interested. For anyone who may have wanted one, but did not get one, any small box will work. Again, if you would like more information just send me an email or give me a call next week and I'll be happy to tell you exactly how we made them.
We completed some beautiful grain elevator art using pastels, but we decided to put them in the visual journals for safe keeping, as it is the time of year when we are starting to take down the bulletin board.
We also enjoyed a wonderful burger lunch provided by the amazing Cranston Parent council!
I'm sure there is a whole bunch more that your little one can fill you in on, but I will leave this week's blog there and wish you all a WONDERFUL first summer weekend.
See you on Monday 73; I think the last three days of school are going to be a lot of fun : )
