The whole school doing the CHA CHA SLIDE, Cross Country Running Tryouts, Terry Fox Walk and the Super Staff Mega Rally...What a WILD week it has been!!

Math: We have moved on from Place Value and have been estimating and adding. Ask your child to add 4734 + 2335 using one of the strategies learned in class.

Language Arts: We analyzed a book about Spiders and will be working towards creating a report of our own next week.



Science: We had a mini quiz on the Scientific Method. Initial the quiz and have your child bring it back Monday, We have been talking about the different types of Matter (anything with a mass and that takes up space). Ask your child to give you some examples!

Art: We finished our quilts and will be bringing them home asap!

Go NEON NINJAS!

Have a fabulous weekend!

A Matter of Fact: Science Update

Today in Science, we started our unit on Matter. We read a book on Matter and brainstormed as we went...
I am very pleased with all the wonderful ideas we came up with. From there, we created title pages to get us excited about what is to come in this unit.

Have a great weekend!

Welcome back BBQ

Looking forward to meeting all of you tomorrow at the welcome back BBQ. Check your child's agenda for an itinerary.

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a restful weekend.

Today we worked on becoming familiar with dictionaries in Language Arts and reviewed place value in Math.

Tomorrow we will be walking over to church to enjoy mass. All are welcome!

Helpful Math Sites

As we look forward to our second week back, here are some helpful math sites to reinforce what we will be doing in class. It is recommended that these websites are used as often as possible to support the unit we will be starting with.

Dragon's Den

Today, as part of orientation week, we created our very own dragon's den! Take a peek!

In science today we saved Fred the gummy worm from drowning! I forgot to take a picture :( 

Don't forget to wear our school colours tomorrow - red, blue and white!

Day 2

Today we had our first school assembly to review all the rules and regulations for being safe at St. George. Tomorrow we will be decorating our den. To those students in my home room - don't forget to bring your dragon ideas!

Congratulations all on making it through the first day back to school! We spent most of today learning about our classmates and will continue this theme throughout the week. We have our first assembly tomorrow and look forward to 'decorating our den' on Thursday! Let's make day 2 as awesome as day 1!! :)

Welcome all! Very excited for the 2016/2017 school year. Hope everyone had a great summer! :)
