Welcome to Room 2's Blog

Today is a suspenseful day, We are coming home with REPORT CARDS !!!!! Du du DUHHHHHH!!!! They are coming home in sealed  envelopes. NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!! DO NOT COME!!!  We did P.E. it was our last day of Mission Impossible, next week we start Netball.  We sorted all of the books in our classroom into : science, fiction, non-fiction, art, social studies, and math.  We have been answering new Wonder questions. We are about to read more Wonder. We did science, and we have been redesigning and remodeling our bridges. 

Today was another good day like every other day. Today we read more of Wonder. August, the main character went to english class and met his teacher Mr. Browne, August decided he was going to like school. We watched a story- it was a legend, told by an indigenous woman. In science, people are starting to redesign and adjust their bridges. We may be coming home to ask for some recyclable materials for our building. In math we did some measurement, we solved word problems using pictures to help us, with a buddy. We did kindness writing. We had to write about kindness by using our 5 senses.   ***NETBALL FORMS ARE DUE TOMORROW***** Students are coming home today with invitations for out annual school dance.  Recorders A reminder that recorders will start for all students in grades 3-6 beginning Monday February 3 and Tuesday February 4. This unit will be ongoing and is expected to wrap up the week before Spring Break (week of March 16). It is expected that students will have the

Today was the greatest day in the world :> Today we did measurement in math. We continued working on our Auggie (or August from Wonder) map. In social studies we talked about our grandparents because they are an important part of our life, our culture, and our heritage. We watched a story called the 'Keeping Quilt' where the grandma passed on a special quilt through the generations. We read some more Wonder. August, the main character, just had his first day of school. 

Hello everybody today was the best day ever! Today we played a math game, we had to find the coordinates of islands and find their area (gr.4) or perimeter (gr.3). We started a character map for Auggie, the main character of our book Wonder. We started mission impossible in gym. We read a bit more of Wonder.  Netball forms need to come back on Thursday. Peace night invitations are coming home, it will be on Thursday. 

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.

 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

All students have received a recorder notice and order form this week.  If you wish to order a recorder for your child at a cost of $4.50, please return the form with cash or cheque payment or online reference # by    Monday January 20.    This order deadline is in place to make sure that the recorders will arrive in time for our February 3 start. This is also a good opportunity for the students who purchased their recorder in a previous year to make sure they can find it prior to the January 20 order deadline.

Hello! We learned about math - we were learning about algebra. We had to figure out what number had been replaced by a shape. We had to edit Ms. Adamson's paragraph for more details. We did a gymnastics course in p.e. We worked on social studies and science reflections. 

Today was another good day for the third month in a row. Today we did work period to work on our superhero stories, including setting, character and story beginnings. We also learned about measuring area, for grade 4s, using cm2 and grade 3s learned to measure perimeter. Today gymnastics changed a bit, we were using balance beams (benches) and bridges we could crawl under and a log you could roll over. In science today we got to test our bridges, and we also used our measuring skills- grade 4s measured for the area of the bridge and grade 3s measured the perimeter of their bridge. Today recess was inside, it was a blue day. And we had a good library day Ms. Adamson got to learn how to use the computer to sign out books. There will be no school  for students this coming Friday

Hello everybody today was a great day, Today we started using the seesaw app to share our work Click on this link, choose your child from the list and you will be able to see any work they post. https://app.seesaw.me/s/143-508-603 We wrote a plan to show our goal in learning for this year.
