Our class learned and experienced so much this week! We continued to explore multiplication and division. The grade fours even tried a 3digit by 1digit multiplication problem on Thursday. We had a virtual presentation from Elder Alice who showed us items important to Nakota culture, and how these items portray the importance of family. With our buddies we learned about Lunar New Year and a student from Mr. Link’s class even brought in a Lion dance costume! Here is what some of us wrote about our week: “In buddies, we learned about Lunar New Year. We watched a video of an old legend about Nian. (Nian is part of what started Lunar New Year). In the legend, Nian attacked a village. The next day the villagers worked together to defeat Nian with loud noise, red and fire. “ ~Skyler “We watched a video of an Indigenous Elder. She showed us three things, the moss bag, a duwedniyeze, and a gicimin. Her sister made the moss bag. You put moss in the moss bag and it is like a diaper for babi...

It was another exciting week in Room 6. Everyone wrote a paragraph about one event from the week focusing on the learning intention ‘ I can use rich vocabulary, complete and interesting sentences to describe an event from this week ’. You will see that our writing is really coming along! You will also see that we learned so much this week! (Mrs. Cooper is really sorry that she can’t post everyone’s ideas each week! She will rotate the writing of everyone as the weeks go on. If you want to see your child’s specific blog post, please email Mrs. Cooper and she can take a picture and send it to you.) “Ever since we ended Wishtree, Ms Cooper found a new book called Song for A Whale. The main characters are Iris and Blue55. Iris loves to fix old radios. She is deaf. She feels the vibration to make sure the radio is working. Blue55 is a whale who can understand other whales but other whales can’t understand him." – A grade 3 student. “This week Miss Baker taught us all about sign lan...

Happy new year to all of our Room 6 Families! This week was not only our first school week of 2023, there were many other new things happening! Here are a few things we wanted to share: “Did you know we got a new adult in our class? She is learning to become an EA. If we need help she is always there to help you. Her name is Ms. Suzie. She is here on Tuesday – Wednesday. She is very helpful.” – a grade 3 student “They just finished painting our gym and we got a new logo in our gym and a new gym floor. The floor is much cleaner. And the floor is sound proof. We have new lines in the gym. It is way cleaner. It has a circle in the middle. I like the paint more than the other one.” – Zen, Max & Jonah “Did you know that room 5’s room was getting painted so they stayed in our room? We loved having them here. It was Super duper fun! But when we were in gym room 5 secretly put thank you cards on Miss Coopers desk. We thought I was really thoughtful of them. We wish they could have st...
