Auditions for the School Play

 

Dear Parents of Grade 2 & 3 Students,

We are very excited to begin our rehearsals and practices for our Spring Production which will be held, Covid dependent, on April 21, 2022 in the evening. If Covid regulations do not allow for an in-person performance, it will be recorded and sent to parents to enjoy as a family.

We are giving grade 2 and 3 students the opportunity to audition for a speaking part in this production. If your child is interested in auditioning and you are NOT going to be away for any extended absences/holidays between Jan 10 - April 21, please have your child memorize the line on the following page from our upcoming play, Willy Wonka.

They will have the opportunity to share their line, with expression and in a projected voice, on the following dates:

Rm 4, 16, 17 on Monday January 17

Rm 5, 6, 18 on Tuesday January 18

Rm 7, 8, 19 on Thursday, January 20

Rm 3, 14, 15 on Monday January 24

Once auditions are completed, students will be notified if they have received a speaking part and receive their script to practice at home no later than January 26. Practices will happen at school during various lunch hours until the production in April.

Field Trip Plan - Feb. 1st

We are planning our first out of school field trip and are very excited. As of now, our plan is to go to the Telus Spark Science centre on February 1st. This will be an all day field trip. We will need 5 volunteers that meet the specific requirements from the CBE. If you are not sure if you meet the requirements, please let me know. If you are able to volunteer, please send me an email at damcvea@cbe.ab.ca. As excited as we are, we are also being cautious about this field trip. We understand with COVID that anything can change at any given time. We will not be sending home the forms until January 24th, so we can keep a close eye on protocols and mandates. If you have any questions, as always, please let me know!

Here is this week's homework.

Hello everyone, I hope you had an excellent break and have enjoyed time off to relax and be with your family. As you have probably heard there will be no school this week in the classroom or on-line. Classes are set to resume on January 10th. Hopefully we will be back then. Enjoy your extra week off!

Wow!! We have had an outstanding start to our food bank donations. We have collected 89 items so far with still time to go. Keep up the wonderful generosity Room 4.

This week we have:

LA-  The students have had time to revise and edit their "stone" stories and most have completed their good copy. We continue to work in our Guided Reading groups focussing on comprehension strategies such as retelling and answering questions using evidence from the text.

Math- Students have been working on developing their basic fact skills in addition and subtraction. We also continue to use the addition and subtraction algorithms to complete equations with three digits requiring regrouping. Our next step is using these skills in problem solving situations. We have also looked at 3D shapes through drawing and labelling.

Science- We are investigating the properties and formation of rocks. We have examined sedimentary and igneous rocks this week. 

Social- Students have completed their brochures on Tunisia's geography and we are now investigating one of Tunisia's most popular celebrations, Ramadan.
