September 30th

We started our new word work today. We got to sort them today.

Today was Orange Shirt Day. We discussed what it would be like to not be allowed to go to school near our families and not be able to speak our first languages. We then wrote one thing we couldn't imagine life without on our shirt that we cut out, coloured orange and glued into our visual journals.

We began our problem of the week in math. We looked at a graph and we had to read it. There was also an open ended question where we were given an answer and asked to provide as many answers as possible.

I'm requesting that our Grade 3's bring headphones to school tomorrow. They may need them for a few days this week. We are going to do a math and literacy activity (informal assessment) on the computers and the students may require headphones to hear some of the questions. I have talked to the class about how this is for me to know what they remember from Grade 2 and where they may need extra help for Grade 3.

This Friday is blue and white day. Remember to wear something with blue and white on Friday.

Please remember that your ADmazing Savings are due back next Thursday.

Tuesday October 1st (tomorrow) is picture day. Come to school with your best smile!

 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.
