August 26 - 30

This week Mr. Pressey started rewarding us for all of the amazing things we do. We get a marble each time we help each other, show respect, don't give up and when we are role models. If we get up to 25 marbles we get some bonus activity.

During Science, we continued to do some nature walks to learn about plants. For one of our walks we collected leaves. Then we put them under some paper and did a rubbing with crayons. After that we measured them for math using rulers.

For Friday art this week we drew Anger from Inside Out. We drew Anger because it connected to all of our conversations about Zones of Regulation. We did it after we read the book the Grumpy Monkey.

We started doing our daily writing where we write for 15 minutes about different topics. One of the topics we did was a news retell. We watch a news story about how an island is sinking because of climate change. These islands are in danger because some of them are only 2 meters tall. For writing we also began writing a story, a personal recount and a response to a work of art.

This week Mr. Pressey handed out our first book orders. If we want to get a book we need to bring Mr. Pressey our money by Next Friday. That is September 6th.

For Math, we learned more about measurement. We learned about the different units of measurement like millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres. We had to figure out which unit would be the best to measure certain things like cars and people.

For Gym we started our basketball unit. To begin we learned how to dribble the ball. We played games like red light green light, buzz buzz sting and sharks and minnows to practice.

There are still a few students who have not returned their media consent forms. These were the bright orange forms that were given out at the beginning of the year.
