No School Monday for Remembrance Day

Christmas Wreath and Poinsettia order forms went home today.
Grade 4 students received a Snow Pass offer

The students are collaborating more effectively during Ignite to create some interesting structures with the blue blocks.

Ms. Aitken taught Ms. Cox's class about encryption and deciding on a key so students can decrypt their peers encrypted code. Students also discussed examples of encryption used in their daily lives, such as social media passwords and wifi passwords!   They used their knowledge of addition and subtraction to increase the difficulty of the key.


Today, Mr. Lawson's class worked on their collaboration skills. Students started by reading 'Up the Creek" which taught them that working as a team to accomplish a goal works better than working alone. Then, the students put their skills to the test and had to work as a team to find letters around the room and unscramble their team's word. Lastly, students worked as a whole class to create a sentence: "Joy Pod will be learning about grasslands this week". Great collaboration, students!

Grasslands...

We continued to learn about the grasslands and how the place effects the animals from the wild.

Eco Team is working hard to create a design/logo for the club this year in hopes to make their own t-shirts.

Today we started a new Read Aloud, Ticket to Curlew.  It is a story of a boy who moved to Alberta in 1913 with his family who purchased land to settle.
