Ahhhh...where is the time going? It is almost October and I feel like time is flying...what a great bunch of kids we have in this class. I am having so much fun teaching 7/8 this year. CTK rocks, and the students are the reason why...we as educators are so lucky to work with such great kids!!
To catch you up on curriculum:
Math: We are finishing our first unit on Number Sense and Numeration. We covered Factoring and Multiples, Squares and Square Roots, Exponents and BEDMAS. Our test is scheduled for Wednesday.
Reading: We are working on making connections and writing a proper reader response.
Writing: We are working on paragraph format and descriptive writing
Media: Creating an advertisement to appeal and convince the general population.
Science (Gr 7): We are working on pure substances and mixtures.
Phys-Ed: We are running the beep test weekly, engaging in various fitness activities, and doing aerobics on Wednesdays.
Religion: We are wrapping up our mini unit on the gifts of the Holy Spirit
Arts: Various visual art, dance, and drama techniques
Our School Community:
We held student elections on Friday. It was a tight race, but only four people could be elected out of eleven. The following students were chosen:
Frankie Facchineri
Alyssa Gibson
Michael S
Mila Schiavo
Our class has started partnering up with the SK/Gr 1 class every other Friday to read together. The focus is to improve primary literacy, leadership, and promote a sense of family and community.
Below are some of the latest classroom photos!
