Our Week:

Congratulations on a fantastic assembly performance today for all of Glacier and Sunrise! We have been working hard this past week making sure everything was just right to share. The students love the story of the Wild Robot and we think it’s wonderful that there has been so much learning happening all around one story! 

In Math, the Grade 1s have been looking at equality and inequality (understanding that the equals sign means a “balance.” We have been exploring with cuisenaire coloured  rods and a pan balance to understand this concept. Ask your Grade 2 child about their fraction avenue project they worked on this past week.

Our Social Studies/Coding project has been going well. There are many layers to this project so we are immersing ourselves in quite an extensive inquiry. Ask your child what they just completed in their communities. Hint: what are the different buildings that make up their community? We are moving onto the math (measurement) part of the project soon. 

Yesterday, we shared a box with everyone with the words, “Urgent, Precious Cargo Inside, Protect from Heat and Cold,” on the outside. The students were asked to make a prediction of what they thought was in the box. Today, we revealed that we have caterpillars that we will be taking care of so they can turn into butterflies. There will be lots of learning involved with this as we observe the changes that occur. We are excited to get started making sketches and doing some writing around this. 

Have a fun and safe weekend!
