Our Day...

Students enjoyed getting to know more of their classmates today during our friendship journal writing time. Mrs. Wauthier's class completed painting their heart maps today.
During music this week Mrs. Coulson has integrated music and art. Students have been exploring lines using chalk.

In Math today students sorted the artifacts they collected in the coulee and documented their nature collections in their visual journals. We worked on sorting by one and two attributes. For example, instead of just sorting all of the leaves into one group, some students further sorted by colour and/or size.

We are beginning to talk about developing reading stamina over the next few days as we will beginning read to self as one of our literacy activities throughout the day. If your child has a book that they would like to bring to school to read during these times, they are welcome to do so. Otherwise we have a classroom library that the students are able to be assigned books from for the week. The books will be retained after use in order for us to ensure AHS COVID guidelines are being adhered to.

We enjoyed our breaks outside today and our thankful for this beautiful fall weather!

 Happy Thursday Peace Group Learners and Families This is my first official blog after returning to Eric Harvie School full-time.   My apologies for missing the blog yesterday. Transitions can be a challenge. Today was a packed day full of learning for all of the Peace Group.  All of the students continue to work on developing their writing. We are all working on "Walking Stories" these are stories that are about themselves. We have focused on our memories.  A "Walking Story's" main character is the student. It is all about a person, place or thing that your child knows a lot about.  We have been using a variety of planning techniques. The students are also learning how to revise their writing by adding "Triple Scoop" words, interesting details and looking at using our "No Excuse" word lists for editing. Math has been exciting and engaging for the students.  Mr. Kai and Mrs. Bowles' group continue their work on graphing.  Today we looked ...
