October 17

Welcome to Education Week. This year's theme is "Technology for Life". We have some exciting activities planned for the week. On Tuesday, the grade 4s of the school will be wearing pedometers to track their steps. On Tuesday, we will have two guest speakers from the Health Region talk about how they use technology in their workplace.

In class, we continue to work through our units:

Language Arts: Collections - Within My Circle. We have also started guided reading. I'm looking forward to hearing your child read in a small group situation.

Math: Unit 1: Patterns and Equations

Science: Rocks and Minerals - quiz tomorrow

Social: Saskatchewan - identity (places, symbols, people)

Religion: New Testament. Students will be receiving their own New Testament next week. Date and time will be put in agendas.

Phys-ed: Volleyball skills - passing, setting

Health: Last week we looked at Fire Prevention.

Friday, October 21 is "Wear a Jersey Day".

Funny Stuff:

A nursery school teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing Christmas scenes. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to little Sarah who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. Sarah replied, 'I'm drawing God.' The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.'

Sarah replied, 'They will in a minute'

Have a great week.
