.**Reminder that next week we will be having Walking Field Trips in the afternoon each day. Please make sure students are arriving at school dressed for the weather as we will be going, rain or shine. *

Hello Room 17 families, 

In math we have been learning about input and output tables, figure patterns, and creating pattern rules, including using algebraic expressions

In science, we have been doing a lot with our fingerprints. We took our fingerprints and stamped them on to a balloon to blow up, to see what type it was and what 'fingerprint characteristics' we could find. Ask your child what are the different types of fingerprints. 

We did our good copy art for the Art Card fundraiser. We taught our buddies about creating shades, they did shades of blue, we did shades of red. 

In writing this week we wrote a letter to Miss Adamson. We have been practicing writing paragraphs and used that to help us in our first stint in letter writing.

This week we learned about character perspective, we read a few chapters from our book Restart and had to compare their problems and feelings, and how they feel about 'New Chase'. 


Halloween is Monday, October 31st. Students are invited to wear Halloween costumes if they would like. We remind all students that there is no gore, no masks and no weapons. Students should come with their costumes on. Please ensure that costumes are comfortable to be worn throughout the day and will be safe and suitable for all daily activities such as gym, recess and learning time. Inflatable costumes are challenging for students to work in throughout the day. In keeping with nutrition and health protocols, we ask for no additional treats or snacks to be sent in.  


The parade is BACK! We are so happy to welcome families back to the school for our Halloween parade. The gym will be set up for costume viewing. Our parade will start at 1:00 and students will wander through the gym to showcase their costumes. If you would like to join us, please come to the front door and join us in the gym for 1:00. Please connect with your child’s teacher if you do not want your child participating in Halloween activities, such as the parade, during the day. 


November 1st will be the Spirit Day chosen by rooms 10 and 12. We will be having a pajama day. All staff and students are invited to wear their comfy pjs for the day.

 Hello Room 17 families,  This week we have been working on word problems involving patterning. Students have been discussing and using different strategies in order to solve a variety of problems. In language arts, we have been looking at letter writing. We have been distinguishing the different features and uses of letters, looking particularly at formal vs. informal letters. We also went on a walking field trip each day. We are working on building our walking stamina, as well as learning various journaling techniques. This is helping to prepare us for our week long field trip to City Hall school coming up in a couple of weeks, where we will be walking around downtown and journaling to share our ideas and learning.  In social studies we have been learning about the 4 pillars of democracy: equity, freedom, justice, and representation. We have also been looking at the different levels of government. We looked around our community for evidence of government services, and then created a

 Blog by Mulan!           In writing, we did picture prompts, where we got to choose between 2 pictures to write a story about. The pictures were Stilt Town and Strength of a Thousand. Stilt Town is a town built on stilts in the ocean, and Strength of a Thousand is a girl holding up a truck! For the story, we first wrote a planning page, then wrote the story and got feedback from a buddy.     In social studies, we learned about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We had the choice to either make a poster about the Charter, or write summaries on a computer. We also talked about problems that has to do with the Charter. We had debates about them too.     In science, we learned about tire tracks. We went to the parking lot with a buddy, and sketched the tracks in the snow.
