November 9th- 13th



LA: Students wrote about what Peace means to them. They could also use their five senses to explain how it feels, looks like, sounds like, tastes like and smells like. I was so impressed that all students wrote three or more sentences. It was definitely a topic that they enjoyed writing about.

Word Family: "ip"

Math: We started addition and some open-ended word problems. Students are expected to draw a picture and write number and word sentences to demonstrate the solution.

Science: We completed a touch test this week. Students were given a bag of different materials and were then given a descriptive word. They had to feel inside the bag to identify the correct object. Students enjoyed this activity very much.

Art: We used pointillism to create a fall tree. Students used markers, instead of paint, to make tiny dots in a pattern to create the leaves for the tree.

We enjoyed watching the Remembrance Day Assembly organized by the grade threes. Our school created postcards for the Veterans and I was able to send some of these to my brother-in-law, 3 cousins, an uncle and my father-in-law back in Newfoundland and in the USA. They were super touched and appreciated the gesture and artwork by our students. Other cards were delivered to the Veterans here in Calgary.

 

Message from Mrs. Taylor

 

Hello Le Roi Daniels!

Although it may be dreary, grey and gloomy outside, at Le Roi Daniels we are always cheerful and full of brightness.

On Monday November 16, we are going to bring colour and joy to our school by having a casual day where students can wear ANY colour of the rainbow.

This is one way to show our joy and remember we have a “RAINBOW OF POSSIBILITIES” in our school.

Be as creative as you would like!
