Track and Field Day

Our meet is scheduled for Friday, May

5th (rain date—Tuesday, May 9th). The

students have been practicing hard

during physical education and DPA.

This day will be filled with fun, fitness

and trying to achieve our personal

bests! Here are some things to remem-

ber…

-clothes for the weather (layered cloth-

ing is best)

-running shoes and athletic top and

bottom

-sun protection (sunscreen, hats, glass-

es)

-water bottle

-lunch or lunch money

-event schedule and maybe a time

telling device

As it is a school day, please leave all

electronic devices and cameras at

home.

French (Mlle. Wonnacott)

In French, we are continu-

ing with our unit called

“Guess Who”. In this unit

we are studying body parts

and other physical charac-

teristics, to play the game

Guess Who. After this, we

will build upon the descrip-

tions to add family mem-

bers. The students will be

giving an oral presentation

describing their family

members. Please watch

your child’s agenda as they

will need to bring pictures

in of their family members

for this presentation.

Language

Our lessons this month are

inspired by our nation’s

sesquicentennial! We have

just finished up our entries

for the Doodle 4 Google

contest. This media literacy

activity had us envisioning

what the next 150 years

might look like in Canada.

Next, we will turn our atten-

tion to some non-fiction

texts, specifically biog-

raphies. We will

be researching

some of history’s

greatest Canadi-

ans. Each stu-

dent will select their own

candidate and then build

an argument to convince

others that he/she is the

greatest Canadian! We will

use a variety of graphic

organizers to categorize

our information as we col-

lect it. The information will

then be presented in both

written and oral form.

Mathematics

Currently, we are looking at

patterns. We are extending

geometric patterns by

building and drawing them.

We are converting the data

into number patterns to

make predictions. It is

amazing how much our

multiplication facts help us

even when problem solving

by finding a pattern. At the

same time, we are looking

at the opposite of multipli-

cation, division. Soon, we

will also tackle the topics of

area and perimeter. We

look forward to a lot of

hands on activities during

this unit!

Science and Social Studies

We are wrapping up our

study of habitats. Our final

investigation involves the

impact that humans have

on the habitats of plants

and other animals. Follow-

ing the completion of our

science unit, we will begin

a social studies topic. We

will be taking a look back

through history. Specifical-

ly, we will research Early

Societies (3000 BC—1500

CE). This involves ancient

civilizations from around

the world and Medieval

Times.

What Are We Learning?

Mindfulness and Yoga

Our class has been selected to participate in a 6-week series of yoga

classes. These sessions will also include some mindfulness exercises.

As we practice our balance, strength and flexibility with yoga poses, we

will also bring attention to self-regulation, concentration and self-

awareness. Wear comfortable, stretchy clothes every Monday!

organization is a good way

to give your newsletter a

personal touch. If your

organization is small, you

may want to list the names

of all employees.

If you have any prices of

standard products or ser-

vices, you can include a

listing of those here. You

may want to refer your

readers to any other forms

of communication that

you’ve created for your

organization.

You can also use this

space to remind readers

to mark their calendars for

a regular event, such as a

If your newsletter is folded

and mailed, this story will

appear on the back. So,

it’s a good idea to make it

easy to read at a glance.

A question and answer

session is a good way to

that you’ve received since

This would be a good place to insert a short para-

graph about your organization. It might include

the purpose of the organization, its mission,

founding date, and a brief history. You could also

include a brief list of the types of products, ser-

vices, or programs your organization offers, the

geographic area covered (for example, western

U.S. or European markets), and a profile of the

types of customers or members served.

It would also be useful to include a contact name

for readers who want more information about the

organization.
