Students have been busy working on their Science Fair Design Thinking Project. Be sure to join us on the afternoon of Thursday, June 12th to celebrate their projects. Stay tuned for more information. 

We have also been learning more about BEDMAS in Math and dipping our toes into fractions. 

Please let us know if you can volunteer for any upcoming events (please see email).

The weather is warm so please ensure your child is coming prepared with lots of water, hat, and sunscreen. 

The students defined their Design Thinking Program this morning. Ask your child what problem they defined and why they selected the problem they did. 

In Math, students learned more about PEDMAS. Ask your child what each letter stands for. We are also looking at fraction strips and how to use them to find equivalent fractions. 

Students played a Financial Literacy Jeopardy Game to support their understanding of money. Ask them how their team cooperated and what they learned. 

Students have also been working on long division in Math. They have been practicing the both the Bank and Standard Methods. This is an area that all students can also practice at home in their free time. 

 Students were introduced to long division in Math today. Ask them how things went for them personally.

We have also completed some amazing art for our mothers....you all will be so impressed with the final products. Be patient....and wait for Sunday!!!

 

 

 

Room 13/14 were introduced to the Design Thinking Project/Science Fair Project today. 

Design Thinking is a creative problem-solving process. It helps us create useful and innovative solutions by deeply understanding real-world problems.

Take a look at the video for a review of the process from start to finish.

Our community walk this afternoon focused on the first stage of Empathy. Understand the problem from the perspective of those affected. Step into the shoes of ecosystems, plants, animals or people and understand their experiences and challenges.

How does it affect people & animals?

Ask questions, observe, and listen.

Ask your child how the community walk was for them and what they discovered about empathy.

 We continued our work on Financial Literacy this morning in our Thursday EYE Opener. Ask your child what we discussed in today's lesson. 

We also started our research project on a student selected group of immigrants that settled in Alberta. Ask your child which group they decided to research. 

Our Earth Day art project is also almost finished. Stay tuned for photo evidence of the incredible work our students have completed. 

We also had our fourth session with our Photography Resident.
