Thank you parents for everything this week in terms of getting the students prepared for the school year and returning several forms.
Today we started off our day completing our agendas in which the notes were:
- Bring in headphones
- Trip forms due Monday
- Read for 20 minutes
- Student Handbook form
- All about me bag (some students did not get to present today as we had house games so I sent them home in case they needed to bring stuff home for the weekend)
- Fall Fiesta Form due Monday (SUPER EXCITING EVENT! Please attend! There is awesome food, events, face painting...throwing balloons at teachers!)
Again if they have already brought it in, they didn't write it down. We started sharing our all about me bags with Rohaan kicking it off. He demonstrated our learner profile "Being a risk taker."
Afterwards, we went to PE with Mrs. Jans.
When we came back we buckled down and did our first math assessment. This was a pre-assessment on our upcoming unit for "Patterning and Problem Solving" The students worked extremely hard on this test and showed a lot of determination and perseverance. This diagnostic test is for me to see where the students are with their learning so far in this unit. Next week we will dive into Math Makes Sense and begin our Math Centres!
After, we went for first lunch and recess.
Next the students had Music with Mr. Oliver and got to explore using Boomwhackers!
Afterwards, we continued our "All About Me" bags. It was exciting to see the objects and pictures they brought it, as well as how respectful our everyone was while our friends were presenting.
Then we went to French with Mme. Stella.
Next, was our second lunch and recess.
Again we had our "All About Me" presentations. Not everybody got to go today, so the rest of the students will go on Monday. I'm very proud of all the students who were risk takers today! Presenting isn't always easy but they did an amazing job.
Finally, to round off the week we had our final house games which consisted of a hula hoop pass (with our bodies!). Theta won for the PYP and Kappa won for the teachers.
Then it was home time. Have a wonderful and restful weekend. I'm looking forward to our first full week next week!
Cheers!
