This week, the students finished their Alberta Regions projects in social and we had our first lesson of our new science unit (Lights & Shadows). They continued reading their Book Club novels and we got to have some great small group guided reading sessions. Miss B introduced a few of the groups to some alternative types of reading material, such as brochures and posters, and she also began a new whole class read-aloud with book 1 of The Spiderwick Chronicles. Report cards went live yesterday, so if you have not had a chance to check those out on Powerschool yet, please click here to go check them out (and if are unable to log on to Powerschool, please call the school on Monday and we'll get you set up).
