Sept. 23

In math we made surveys with the main question being "What did Calgary look like 50 years ago?" We then had 3 to 5 options for our classmates to choose from. We will begin to graph this data tomorrow in Math.

We watched a video about Terry Fox at the end of the day. Students thought it was interesting that there is currently an 80% survival rate. We are going to be writing a newspaper article about Terry Fox, pretending that they saw him run.

In Gym we played Great Wall of China.

We worked on our new problem of the week and got our new word work for the week.

Anyone who didn't finish their one spelling activity today is coming home with their word work in order to do the one spelling activity. Students can choose what they do. Some choices are creating a tangled web with their words, putting them into alphabetical order, counting out and recording the number of syllables, writing their words so that the vowels are a different colour, sailboat words, fancy words, creating a paragraph that uses all of their words or as many as possible. Students have a lot of other ideas they can choose to use as their word work activity as well. They only need to do one today.

Please remember that this Thursday is our Open House, Welcome Back BBQ and Terry Fox run.

 Don't forget that tomorrow is Twin day! Lake Bonavista School is participating in Netball from February 3-7 h  in our gymnasium. This sport involves foundational movement skills such as jumping, running, throwing, and catching. As described on the Netball Alberta website ( www.netballalberta.com ): “Netball is an exciting, fast and skillful game of fair contest: It is a game in which two teams of seven players each strive to keep or gain possession of the ball. Players have specified areas in which they can move.”  Parent Council has graciously provided the funding to bring this event into our school. Consent forms will be sent home in your child’s communication folder. Please sign and return the forms so your child is able to participate in this fun LBS event! Thanks,  Active Living IN-KIND-DONATIONS Thank you to everyone who has made a generous contribution to Lake Bonavista Improvement Society’s  IN-KIND-DONATIONS . We have raised just over $300

Today we continued working on our bridge redesign. We have been following the engineering process beginning with our problem of building a bridge that can hold 1kg to cross a 50cm 'river' then moving to brainstorming solutions, designing using a blueprint and materials list, then building and testing whether it was able to solve the problem. Now that we have discovered that all of our bridges can hold even more than 1 kg, we are redesigning to make them as strong as we are able. We are reflecting on what we learned from testing, researching answers to questions we still have and looking at examples of bridges in real life as we reflect on how we can make our bridges even stronger. We will create a blueprint showing how we will adjust and alter our bridges to reflect new understandings. We will begin adjusting out bridges next week, students may need to collect additional materials at this time.

Today was another crazy busy day. During work period, Grade 4's worked on the French alphabet.  Grade 3 and 4's worked on finishing their summer writing, time capsule and math. We began to write three truths and a fib. We are trying to trick our classmates by making our fib less obvious. In Math we looked at making a graph about our favourite hockey teams. Students enjoyed brainstorming all the hockey teams. We chose a few of them. Then voted on our favourites. Grade 3 and 4 then had time to work on their graphing survey and begin to graph their data. Friday September 6 is Blue day at LBS. Please remember to wear something blue and white. Don't forget that we have early dismissal on Fridays. Our Friday dismissal is at 12:15.
