This week we celebrated family literacy day with different activities.

We met with our buddies to share and read our favourite books. We also drew our favourite scene in our visual journals.

We also had a special guest come read to us. Mrs. Dalton read "The Name Jar," by Yongsook Choi. We really enjoyed it! 

Some children shared their favourite book to our class during our book talk on Wednesday. It was so interesting to hear what everyone had to share. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow students have no school and it is a long weekend for Capitol Hill School staff and students. As well, in-line skating will begin next week so please let me know if you are interested in volunteering.

The temperature is also supposed to drop next week so make sure your little ones are dressed extra warm with mittens, hats, snow pants, snow boots and a snow jacket. 

We hope you all enjoyed celebrating the joy of literacy this week and have a great long weekend!

This week we continued to work on our big art project. We have been painting the prairies. Today, we added the foothills and mountains. Next week, we will add indigenous plants that we have been learning about in social studies. In math, we have continued working on showing our work when solving addition and subtraction questions.

Just a reminder that Monday is Family Literacy Day. Children are encouraged to wear their pajamas to school and bring a special stuffy that they can read to!

Have a wonderful weekend!

This week we have been working finding the big idea in stories. In social studies, we drew a picture of the prairies and began to paint them. In gym we have been practicing our skills to play floor hockey. We have also talked about being safe while we play. We keep our stick under our knees while we pass and shoot the puck. We also keep our head up and look around while we are playing.

Have a nice weekend.⛄ Make sure you dress warm!
