Week 5 Updates
Dear families,
Here are some more tweets from this past week and a snapshot of our learning!
TUESDAY: Important lesson on Digital Citizenship to THINK before you post but really it’s a great reminder when we speak to each other face to face too. My grade 3/4’s dove into O365 Teams and first assignment. Can’t wait to see how communication and collaboration skills flourish!
WEDNESDAY: Yesterday, students wrote I Am Thankful poems. Today, they took only one of the ideas and dove deeper with details, reasons, explanations and experiences. Told students it’s like writing with a magnifying glass which I pulled out as a prop. Such great writing. Students really seeing themselves as writers! Click here to read Yoyo and Ananiah’s writing.
THURSDAY: In Science, we continued to expand our understanding of molecules – how colour and sugar molecules interacted with water molecules. Students enjoyed watching how the colour in the M&M’s dissolved in the water and tried to explain why the two colours did not mix using their understanding of molecules as there is a clear line between the two colours. The next day, we compared an M&M placed in plain water with an M&M placed in water with sugar. Please ask your child to explain what happened!
FRIDAY: @burnabyschools Such gratitude for supporting the love of arts through Young People’s Concert series. Listening to students share reflections and appreciations when we returned was confirming of why it’s an important tradition to continue. Powerful example of people pursuing passions. Thank you!
Grupo America was the dance group that performed for us at the Michael J. Fox Theatre. It is a local Burnaby group!
FOOD BANK: Please continue to bring in non-perishable food items. Thank you.
BOWLING: This Thursday, we will be walking to Revs. Please have your child bring their lunch and a snack.
NEW FIELD TRIP: Burnaby will be hosting the World Ringette Championships at the end of November. We will be going to watch a game on November 28th! We will need parent volunteer drivers, please. Save the date! Click here for more information.
