May 12

  
Another busy week ahead!  On Tuesday and Thursday morning we have swimming lessons at Rainbow Pool.  We start “blocking” for Alice in Wonderland on Monday.  This means that students will be walking through their parts on stage while they read their lines.  I hope that by next week most students will be able to rehearse without using a script.  Students have completed a sheet that lists their roles in the play as well as the costume supplies they will need.  I’d like them to start thinking about gathering items for their costumes.

Subjects


Math:  This week we’ll finish geometry and start fractions.
Reading: Reading and practicing Alice will be the major focus of reading activities..
Writing:  Students will be writing short stories for the next couple of weeks.
Keyboarding: Keyboarding practice continues daily.   I encourage students to practice keyboarding at home at the online site we use at school.  www.freetypinggame.net
Science:  Now that we’ve finished our water testing at Fulford creek, we’ll be doing a beach study for the next few weeks.
Art: We have been doing some paper weaving and we’ll be continuing with the weaving theme for a few weeks.
PE:  We continue to focus on track and field for the next weeks as the District Track meet is scheduled for May 27.
French:  We are studying Ma famille  and students are creating their own family tree.    I also plan on teaching them a couple of songs.
