Story writing is one of those things that children tend to love... They fall into a fantasy world that only deepens as their skills in descriptive writing improve. Today students enhanced their skills as they wrote, shared, and edited their writing. Tomorrow we'll be giving students additional skills in self and peer editing, before they begin their good copies.
We've been working on sorting and classifying rocks and minerals. Today we had students organize them based on 3 properties: Colour, luster, and hardness. This type of work will continue in the upcoming days. As you hike/walk/talk with your children search for a rock and ask them how they might classify it.
Please keep in mind, the following 2 school-wide events:
1. The grade 2s are collecting non-perishible food items for the food bank. They will also use the food as a building project. The class with the most food wins a popcorn party.
2. The grade 1s are collecting used toys to be sold on Thursday. Proceeds go to Stephen's Backpack .
That is all! Have an outstanding evening!
Sincerely,
Mr. MacKenzie
