Greetings families of room 18!
Just a quick reminder to parents that there is no school tomorrow and that report cards were sent home with students today. If your child was absent from school, it will be sent home in January.
School will resume on Monday, January 8, 2018.
Have a safe and wonderful holiday, and a Happy New Year!

Wow! Is it Wednesday already?!
It was another busy day and students are definitely showing signs that they are ready for the break. We will push ahead and continue with as much learning as we can in the next day!
We began our day with a short DEAR period to settle into our day as everyone was very excited about the snow. After DEAR we headed down to music with Mr. Wiens.
Once back upstairs, we worked on "playing" with division one more time and once students were finished with the required questions, we started to get set up for a game of division battleship but were interrupted by our Parent Council volunteers and their Christmas Book Gifts! We all went downstairs and had a chance to look through books and choose one to bring home with us. After this we had recess and then moved back into math. We set up our game for battleship and it was all of the students vs. Ms. Laird. This game really helps students use their number sense (as long as they are playing it correctly) using both multiplication and division. Then we had a chance to watch part of The Grinch which we are using to discuss character traits, personal development and also using as an entry point for some of our Language Arts writing using figurative language.
After lunch, students were excited to get to work on the props for their stop motion animation videos. The backgrounds are coming along and the storyboards are complete. We will begin filming tomorrow morning and will hopefully have enough time to show them during the afternoon. If not, we will have to wait to share them until after the break.
Later in the afternoon we had gym and then caroling with the whole school before the end of the day.
Reminders:
-Tomorrow is the last day of school!!! No school on Friday!
-Grade 4/5 students will have a pajama day tomorrow (no stuffies, blankets, or pillows please)
-Report cards go home tomorrow

Happy Monday!
Here is a recap of what we got up to today in room 18!
We started the day with a quick D.E.A.R. period to allow students some time to read books that they have selected. It was a nice calm start to the day as students are already showing signs of being ready for the break! This got us ready to plug in for a math period where we began experimenting with division. Everyone was given ten division statements and then asked to represent them using a variety of strategies. As students are feeling very apprehensive about division, I have decided to "play" with division this week in an attempt to keep them thinking about it, but not be overwhelmed by it. We will still continue with multiplication practice as the two skills are so closely linked and I don't want students to forget all of the hard work they put into multiplication.
As students finished up their math they were given time to work on a Wonder art project they had started with Ms. Ryan. Students are identifying character traits about themselves (after looking at some of the characters from wonder) and adding the traits to their artwork. We will be adding this work to our walls when it's finished and you will be able to see it in January when we have our student-led conferences. We then had recess.
After recess, I introduced a new activity to the class. We have been talking about how humans impact the world as an opportunity to see connections between the science and social studies curriculum. As it happens, students have really become interested in talking about human impact and our conversation from last week has evolved into the desire to create projects on these topics! So, we have decided to put together stop motion animation movies over the next week that we will share with you at our learning evening in January!
During the afternoon, students started with guided reading. The books that they are reading now will eventually lead to writing book reviews as another example of expository writing. We then had gym and then discussed the process for using our stop motion app to create a movie.
Students are welcome to wear a seasonal sweater/red or green to school tomorrow, seasonal hats on Wednesday, and Thursday will be a pajama day for the grade 4/5s.
Reminders:
-Thursday is the last day of class for students!
-No School on Friday
-Report cards go home on Thursday
-Popcorn sales will resume in January

Happy Friday Families!
Today we began our day with our Pillars of Care assembly! Congratulations again to our four winners: Karim, Rylee, Tyla, and Tyler!
After our assembly we did a day of wonderful word problems that were student generated. There were some very creative word problems to be solved! Once we finished math, we headed downstairs and played bench dodgeball with Mr. Sadowsky's class. It was a ton of fun.
We had a quick nutrition break and then we got the laptops out to finish up our next blog posts. Students should now have their final product of their next blog post ready for your viewing. They should also have the rubric by which their work is being compared copied and pasted into the slide directly after their latest entry. Students who had completed their writing worked instead on their Wonder Character Trait art. ***If your e-mail link is not working to view your child's blog, they can always log in to their drive and show you directly through their drive.***
Next, we had learning buddies!
At the end of the day we took some time to say goodbye to Ms. Ryan who will be headed back to school for the month of January and will be back with us after Family Day weekend. We are sad to see her go but are glad that she will be coming back to join us.
We also had vaccinations today for our grade 5 students.
Reminders for next week:
-Friday is a PD day, the last day of school for students is Thursday

Happy Wednesday!
Today we had a really shaken up day due to our afternoon concert rehearsal and a day 0 schedule.
This morning, students had an extended period of time to work on their next writing sample for their blog. As Ms. Ryan's last day with us until February is this Friday, we have been pushing extra hard to get our first expository writing sample finished. Students have had lots of opportunity to write their essays in class and will have limited finish up time over the next two days because most of their writing should be in the 'finishing touches' stage.
After recess, we had an hour of math where we used different games to review multiplication and make a connection to how we were already using division in our games. We have been receiving professional development on how to use 'play' to increase math participation and support our foundational knowledge of basic facts.
After lunch we had the chance to watch the grade 1, 2, and 3 concert! It was really great and our class was a great audience! Once the concert was finished, we all went outside with Ms. Locke's class and worked on our basketball skills. Some students played a game, some worked on passing and dribbling skills, and some played four square.
Doors for both concerts over the next two evenings open at 6:00, the concert begins at 6:30 and we hope you can join us!
Have a great evening!

Happy Monday!
Today seemed to pass by quickly! Here's a quick recap of what we worked on:
We began the day with a quick trip down to the music room to visit Mr. Wiens. Next, we came upstairs and had a hands on math lesson designed by Ms. Ryan to re-introduce division to us. Not everyone realized we were doing it, but we had a few students wondering why were were putting counters into a variety of groups figure out that yes, we were in fact doing division! When Ms. Ryan brought this fact to the students' attention at the end of math, there were some shocked looking faces (and even some scared ones!), but it was great to see how shocked everyone was that they were successfully working through division. We will be continuing with division from now on, but will not be completely diverting from multiplication yet as students need to see the connection between the two concepts. Also, students have been given last week's bi-weekly mad minute, and many are starting to see some really good improvement on their overall score.
After recess, we finished our natural vs. manmade disaster presentations and had a discussion about the forest fires that are happening down in California. We discussed the question: "Are all natural disasters really caused by nature?" We tried to make connections between what we had learned during our science unit on weather (the greenhouse effect) with what we know about extreme weather events and how it affects the geographical regions of Canada. It was quite an interesting conversation.
After lunch we took on the large task of continuing our 4 paragraph essay writing. Students are still not finished yet but are experiencing issues with transferring their point form planning from their graphic organizer into longer sentences in their blogs. We will be continuing with these as the week goes on, looking at the introduction and concluding paragraphs as well. We finished off the day by doing a read aloud from Wonder, where students heard some pretty major plot developments about how Auggie is being treated by his peers at school.
Reminders:
-Winter concert performances for our class on Thursday night! Students are being asked to be back at school for 6pm and can head up to the classroom
-Dress rehearsals for both the concerts will happen in the afternoon on the same day as the concerts if you would like to join us then.
Congratulations to this month's Pillars of Care Winners!!!!

Good afternoon families of room 18!
Today we had the chance to roll up our sleeves and do the following:
We began the day by looking at an interactive video posted on the CBC website to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Halifax Explosion. We have been discussing the difference between natural and manmade disasters in Social Studies, and while we didn't have Social Studies today, it was a really neat opportunity to understand what happened as a part of that disaster and how the unfortunate event boiled down to a few simple decisions made by humans. It was a really neat 360 degree interactive video. If you have a chance, you should take a look with your student and maybe they can share some of the knowledge they have about disasters!
http://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/halifaxexplosion/
We had music with Mr. Wiens and then came back to class to continue on with our Wonderful Word Problem Week! We will be taking up some more of the answers during math tomorrow, completing another of our bi-weekly basic fact tests (which we will be switching up soon) and completing word problems written by our very own students over the course of the week.
After recess, the fun really began! We had our first, full-length experiment where we got to test materials that were possible conductors of electricity. Students used circuit kits to test materials such as balloons, keys, pennies, wooden popsicle sticks, and steel wool (just to name a few) to see which materials would conduct electricity from a battery to turn on a light. The room was buzzing with exciting scientific discoveries!
After lunch, we began to look at our first extended form of expository writing, which should hit student blogs for publishing next week (this blog will keep you posted for the next update!). We will be looking at how to use our paragraph hamburger format as an extension to create longer form writing. This will eventually be useful for procedural writing, autobiographical writing and of course, opinion writing!
We then had gym with Mr. Sadowsky and finished up the day with a learning check-in with Ms. Ryan in order to gauge understanding for our upcoming writing tasks.
Students brought home their class portrait today and will be receiving a concert newsletter tomorrow.
Reminder: There is no school this Friday!

Hi families of room 18!
Just a quick note to say that all of our blogs should be live starting now! By now, students should have shared their blog with you via googleDrive or using a link that would have been e-mailed to you if I had your e-mail recorded somewhere. If you have not received it, please feel free to send me an e-mail and I will look into it as some of the non-google e-mails were being a little finicky with sharing.
Students are VERY excited to share their writing with you and I hope you enjoy seeing how their writing progresses as we move into more challenging forms of expository writing and eventually, narrative writing.
Have a great night!

Good afternoon families of room 18!
It has been a wild and crazy Monday, and all of this sunshine has created an energetic day! Here is our recap of what we did:
We began the day with a lesson on setting up our blogs. Students will be writing their 'blogs' using GoogleDrive Slides and adding to it throughout the course of the month. Tomorrow, students will be adding their first paragraph to their blog on the writing prompt "The best things about being a kid are...". We will be publishing them using Drive because we want to make sure that anything our students put online is protected as much as possible. We are excited and would like to encourage parents to follow along with our student blogs as they develop! In order to access them, you will be receiving a link through an e-mail from your child's GoogleDrive account. If your e-mail is not currently up to date with the school or was incorrect at some point when being entered, we can resend an invitation to you with the correct address or you are welcome to send me a quick e-mail with your updated address ( crlaird@cbe.ab.ca ). We should have the blogs ready with their first entry to be sent out tomorrow.
After this, we moved into math and the beginning of the Wonderful Word Problem Week! It was really fun and neat to see students feeling so successful with completing word problems and I heard several students remark about enjoying the word problems we presented them with. Today we focused on making sure we could identify the important information in front of us and which function the question was asking us to use. Then, we went out for recess.
During the period before lunch, we got to set up an experiment we will be continuing on Wednesday in Science (we may switch this to tomorrow so that we don't forget the ground work we laid today). Students had to think through the scientific process, make a hypothesis, create a process for our experiment and will get to prove their hypothesis correct or incorrect during our next science period.
After lunch, we had a MEGA language arts lesson as we planned and wrote the rough copies of our first ever blog posts. Students are super excited to add their posts onto the blog and will be including a checklist of criteria they were asked to complete before entering their writing into their blog. When you have access, take a look at your child's writing and refer to the checklist to see what their writing expectations were. If this is successful, then students will be able to add writing samples to their blog throughout the year for you to see! Hopefully it works!
We then had gym with Mr. Sadowsky and finished the day off with a few chapters from Wonder.
Reminders:
-No school this Friday!

Happy Friday and December 1st!
Today, we had a great surprise when Mr. Hebert walked into our class during math with PINK and BLUE hair!!! Turns out Mr. Hebert had the most votes in our Movember fundraiser and so he was a good sport and died his hair for everyone. I believe we raised about $500 dollars for the Movember campaign thanks to the generous donations of Beddington students. Well done!
During math, students were given a quick math check-in before being given some mathletics time. I am really excited to see that most students are independently working through the process of using their multiplication strategies. One of the things you can do at home to help is to give them easy math sentences to work out in their heads! Most students in the class have identified that the 6, 7, and, 8 times tables are the ones giving them the most trouble. In these cases, I try to ask them to reframe the question as a 5 times table or 9 times table in order to figure out the answer to the question they have been asked. Students have a neat way of solving the 9 times table using their fingers, ask them to show you!
After math we went to gym and had a combination of practicing basketball skills and fitness Fridays. Later on, we continued to work on our natural disasters work. Students are getting creative and some groups have even made a few props for their video/presentation! They will have one more period to finish up writing their script/polish their presentation and then we will present them.
We then had some time reading with our learning buddies and finished off the day with a finish up period for unfinished LA/Social Studies/Math/Art tasks, the loose ends that accumulate when students work at different speeds.
A reminder that next Friday will be a PD day and there won't be any school Dec. 8th.
Have a great weekend!
