Goodbye May, Hello June!

Hello!

This is it! We're down to the last month of school. We've already begun our 20-day countdown to the last day of school (what?) -- though our days are still just packed. Check out the video below for some of our highlights in May:

Please see below for our academic focuses in June:

Writing:

In June, we'll be delving into the wonderful world of POETRY. I'm very excited about the activities we have planned, and the beautiful, expressive poetry to come.

Reading:

Students have just begun our cross-class book clubs, and this will make up the bulk of our reading time in June.

Math:

We're just wrapping up our Time unit, and then... it's time to review, and complete our year-end cumulative assessments.

Science:

In June we'll be wrapping up our Plants science unit, culminating in our Waterton field trip.

Social:

Our Waterton Lakes field trip also contributes to our social studies understandings (national parks, and Alberta's history).

Wellness:

Students will complete the final Kids in the Know lesson, as well as a short Nutrition unit. We'll also be OUTSIDE as much as possible, enjoying the warm weather!

Art:

In art, students will be creating Artist Trading cards again; but this time for each other!

Important Notes for the next month:

Thursday June 13th - Field Trip to Waterton Lakes National Park (leaving the school at 7:45am!)
Tuesday June 18th - Grade 3-5 Water Fight (pm)
Thursday June 20th - Sports Day (pm)
Wednesday June 26th - Final Day for students!

***Also, I do a fun "countdown to the end of school" every year. Please look for weekly updates regarding these activities, as some may involve students bringing materials from home***

Thanks for reading,

Mr. V
