Friday Dec 2nd:

Notices:
Our school has just begun its annual Granola Bar community service project. So please send in a few granola bars for the school to distribute to a local Food bank.

Winter concert on the 15th during the day so plan accordingly as I do not think there is an evening performance planed as yet.

After the Winter Break four of our students will become lunch monitors. "S" "K" "D" and "Se" will be the first fours too be given the opportunity. Well done students and by the end of the year others will also have an opportunity to serve the school in this important way.

We started the day with our weekly spelling test. The tests were marked but as we did not have time to record the marks the tests were not handed back. They will be returned Monday along with the Pre-test for next weeks words.

We continue to enjoy working with the computers and the Smart board. The students worked on the Socials, Language arts, and Science projects that they have begun. The students are doing an amazing job of mastering the basic use of Power-point and Word. Tracy, who is filling in until the position vacated by Mrs. M, will not be with us much longer as the position was posted and ended today. This means we will have the permanent replacement with us early next week. Thank you Tracy for your time with us working with our students.

For math we continued working on the Sudoku problem solving sheets that we introduced on Tuesday. Many of the students are really taking a liking to Sudoku which is quite approachable with the 4x4 and 6x6 sheets that we are starting on rather than the normal 9x9 found in the newspapers. We talked about some more strategies for solving them and then the students had a page of Sudoku to work on.


After lunch we had buddies where the students helped the buddies write and read and do math. As well some of the students helped paint the train that is part of our yearly school charity granola bar drive. Each year we gather granola bars and distribute them to a local food court.

We ended the week catching up on any unfinished worked followed as usual with a rowdy game of Capture the Flag (Slimmers Island) and were joined by Mr. Edwards grade four five class. Have a great weekend everyone and see you Monday.
