My sample HAMBURGER PARAGRAPH:

This week at school I helped the teachers set up the gymnastic equipment. We had to move the heavy tressles. When I move them it's a little hard on my neck. We also had to check the Canadian Climber to see if it was safe for the students to use. I had fun time with the teachers designing the set up of the gymnastics equipment.  

Science: (with Mr. Massey) - Thanks Mr. Massey for the Science Class on a concept that the students will be learning about in Grade 2 - Magnets (when poles will repel or attract each other). The kids were really intrigued and attentive. They loved the experiments too. 

Indoor Recess Fun: Way to go Tarrack - putting First Things First! 

Learning About 'Whole Body Listening' Today we had Ms. Meghan (Occupational Therapist) in to read a great story to us about Whole Body Listening. Here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_UnI-6dik8 to explain. Your child completed an activity and was allowed to choose to leave at school or take home. Please ask your child about whole body listening and Larry. 

Gym :  It's Mission Impossible

... LAST DAY FOR MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 

Social Studies: Kids have been paired up to review a book called 'The Community, Then and Now. They are recording what they are learning (via words or pics). They will share with their classmates what they learned. Ask your child about how these areas of different (or the same) from then and now: farming, schools, shopping stores, cars. 

Science: Tomorrow we are continuing with our Building Things Unit. We began with building our community. We will make pop-up cards for our buddies. Learning how to create this type of card is part of the building unit.

P.S.: T.W.A.S. will not be written tomorrow. Spelling test books (blue book) will go home though. Please review and return for Monday.
