Week Overview:

Math: This week we will wrap up our measurement unit on time. It is expected that all students will be able to tell time using an analog clock. There will be a large test on analog and digital time Friday this week.

Socials: This week we will continue to explore the First nations Beliefs and Ceremonies, text pages 85 - 89. As a member of the Tagish-Tlingit first nations and am a member of the wolf clan. I will guide the students through the concepts of the responsibilities that go along with earning a name and becoming a contributing member of a clan. We will learn about the potlatch, totems and spirit guides and getting an ancestral name.

Science: We will wrap up our 'Weather' theme with a look at Erosion (page 57 of the text) After spring break when we will switch to a unit on 'Light.'

Today:

Spelling pre-test given and corrected. Spelling pages for students to work on, as an aid in thinking about spelling words, handed out and students worked on them.

After recess Mrs. Withers took the 8 read for the top students and read and made questions for semi-final round. The students remaining worked on their Classic Novel reports (due Wed.)

Instead of our famous Canadian report we were treated to a special one hour golf program in the gym presented by the BC GA golf school.

After lunch those students not in choir listened to the music and did a one page report on music of Aaron Copland. Then we worked on Math pages 211 and 212, solving problems on how much time has elapsed.

The students finished the day in Music where they sang, practiced their recorder and a dance that they are going to perform at one of the assemblies.
