Over the last week, students have been publishing their own "Peace Is..." book with Ms. Wolfe. They have come up with such beautiful examples using each of their senses and illustrated a picture to go with each. Students are using adjectives to help their writing become more descriptive and powerful. We hope that students will have these finished by Friday and then they can start to record them using PuppetEdu. We will put these videos on Google Classroom for you to see! Watch for these to be posted in the next week or so!
We also used the watercolour pencil crayons for the first time last week to create some poppies in our hallway. Students applying using space, line and colour to create their own poppy art. The soft colours really bring a sense of peace to the school.
On Tuesday, we also had our first school wide virtual assembly. All classes "met" on Google to view a simple assembly as a way to bring together the school on an important date. Grade 4 students led the assembly in which they talked about the importance of Remembrance Day, read In Flanders Fields and led us through a moment of silence.
Don't forget that conferences are next week. These will be available with a video face to face format (Microsoft teams) or a phone call. Please let me know if you prefer a phone call as I will default to the Teams link given when you sign up.
These meetings will be very brief (only 15 minutes) and will need to stay on time to ensure that each family gets their allotted appointment. If during this meeting you think you require more than the 15 minutes, we can schedule another time to connect, but I will need to stay punctual for each of these meetings. If you have two or more children, you might consider signing up with a buffer of 15 minutes between appointment times to account for any technology issues you could run into. We look forward to connecting next week!
Upcoming Important Dates:
- Parent conferences Nov. 19/20
- No School Nov. 20
- No School Dec. 4
- Winter Break - Dec. 19 - Jan. 4 (I can't believe I am writing this already? Where has time gone?)
