We have finished all 3 Wild Robot books for our read a loud and we need a new book. I would like to read Matilda by Roald Dahl and then watch the movie after we have finished it. If you have any concerns about this please let me know.
I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend and were able to enjoy the beautiful weather! Your kids have been working so hard in class and probably appreciated the break.
Today we had our quiz on the Gold Rush and I am so proud of how well the students did. In Math, we have been working on shapes, angles, and sorting different polynomials according to attributes. In Language Arts, we have started story writing and are working on How to Make Pizza writing. We are reading The One and Only Ivan together and working through a comprehension booklet that covers a variety of skills. In Science we are learning about the phases of the moon. We are still working through the Bible Scavenger Hunts.
Thursday is Pink Shirt Day. Students are invited to wear a pink shirt with casual bottoms. Thursday is also the day we are making pizza so if you were planning on sending sauce or cheese could you please send it tomorrow so I know how much we have. Thank you to so much to those that have already sent some in!
Just a reminder that tomorrow the students can wear Valentine’s colors to school for Valentine’s day!
As part of our “How To” writing, we are going to be writing instructions on how to make pizza.
And then…. WE WILL MAKE PIZZA! We have the kitchen booked for February 22. We will make this before lunch, so if your child likes pizza, you do not need to pack them a lunch that day.
We are just going to keep them simple. Would you be willing to send in some pizza sauce or shredded cheese? If you are, please comment on this post, so it is easy to keep track of how much is coming in. You can send it in any time, and we can keep it in our classroom fridge.
Thanks!
On Tuesday, February 20th we will be having a short multiple choice quiz about the Fraser River Gold Rush.
I am sending home a study guide today.
Monday is our memory verse testing day. Today I tested verses 16 and 17. Please practice these at home as we do not spend a lot of class time practicing. Many students did not know their verse today.
Next week I will test Ephesians 3:18-19.
18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Hello Parents!
We are looking forward to our spring concert and this year instead of our usual “Spring Showcase” the Kindergarten – Grade 3 classes will be performing “The Music Machine” on Monday, May 13 at 6:30pm.
We are asking that students wear jeans or uniform pants, sneakers, and a short sleeved t-shirt in a solid colour of your choosing, with no printing on the front (shirts may be turned inside out to hide printing if needed).
On February 5th and 7th, the children will be video recording some dialogue with the Conductor, played by Mrs. Shinness in our studio. We are asking that all students please bring a solid-colour t-shirt with no printing on the front. They can change into the t-shirt before heading to the studio.
The following classes will be recorded on the following days:
Feb 5th: Grade 3 (Mrs. VanLeeuwen)
Please make sure your child brings their shirt on the day they will be recorded.
We are also in need of assistance from any willing parents who would love to create some props. We need 2 large snail costumes. If you would like to help, please contact Alynne Shinness (ashinness@highroadacademy.com) or Angela Kennedy (akennedy@highroadacademy.com)
The Missions team is raising money to fund their water filter project. Donations can be brought in to the school office, or done online (Clean Water Project Donations (jotform.com). Donations over $20 get a tax receipt I am sending donation forms home with all of the students today. If you want to send in cash or cheque (payable to City Life Church), please fill out the form and it can be returned to the office with the donation.
We are also collecting hand sized stuffies, and our class has done an amazing job getting this started! If you want to send in more, they can be brought in to the classroom.
Thank you so much for your support!!
