We had an awesome day! It was great to back into regular routine and engaging our brains again!

Highlights:

1. More math! Grade 3s did some math games. Grade 4s worked on division by making as many groupings of 24 as possible.

2. In Writers Workshop, we read Rise Up and Write It. This story was about a girl was took action by making a petition, hosting a community forum, speaking at City Council, and making posters. We are now talking about what action we could take in the world, and persuading someone to make a positive change. 

3. We are creating infographic posters for a Upstander Hall of Fame. They worked on research before the break and are now creating posters summarizing their Upstanders journey.

Ask me about: what is significant about your upstander? Why was their action important?

Reminders

Picture day tomorrow.

Coulee adventure on Friday.

There are math games to practice on Google Classroom- working with your child on basic facts each night will help a ton!

From Mrs. Coulson

Some of the EHS students have been working hard creating plays.  As this work has progressed they have shown interest in carrying these plays forward to something that they can perform and perhaps film.  They have been working on set, props and costume design and are hopeful that they can create these themselves.  If you have any of the following to donate we would really appreciate it. There will be a cart outside the front of the school at pick up and drop off times for any donations, you may also send them with your student to give to me.   

 

Here are some ideas:

Fabric 

Wings

Wire coat hangers

Elastic

Headbands

Barrettes

Safety Pins

Thread

Costume Pieces

 

Here are the plays in case they help inspire somethings you may not have thought of:

1. Stone Slop (Monster version of Stone Soup)
2. Aladdin and the Magic Pickle Jar (Pixie, Aladdin, Goes from North Pole to Airport)
3. June Bug and the Flea (Every sort of bug)
4. The Prince Frog (Speaks for itself)
5. Queen Midas (Queen and ladies in waiting, Magician, Photographer, Soccer players)
6. Jack and the Giant Sunflower 
7. Claynocchio (Gingerbread person, Clay figure)
8. Clinky Planky Tenbo (D.J., Teacher, animals)
9. Three Silly Goats Gruff (Lady Bug, Goats)
10. The Elves and the Young Stu Baker 

 

Thank you for your support
