Artist in Residence  We had our final session with Mrs. Sharon on Monday. Students worked on creating small images of the life cycle of a pea. These will be cut out and collaged together for our final picture of patterns in nature connected to plant life cycle.  We will share a picture of the final product when it is completed!                                                                                     The Marker Mystery  We continued our learning in connection to the markers being recycled at LBS. Students categorized their benchmark numbers, using that data they created bar graphs.  Psyanky Eggs                                                                                       Outdoor Learning  We love this beautiful weather so we decided to do some outdoor learning. Students were asked to find a sit spot, they took time to be in nature to find and document nouns and connected verbs.  Gymnastics  We wrapped up our gymnastics unit this week, the last three days of the unit

I hope everyone is doing well. We had to say goodbye to Ms. Mia our student teacher yesterday (Thursday) as she has finished her student teaching! Congratulations to her on her successes in the last 8 weeks at LBS and on her future teaching career.  Artist in Residence started again this week - we learned about how all materials at one point came from the earth. We also talked about patterns in nature. We will be working on creating an art piece that will live at LBS within the hallways. Each art piece will be a collaboration between multiple classes and layered work.  We had a lot of fun this week teaching the stability and strength of our bridges (grade 3) and the successful movement of our vehicles (grade 4). Groups had opportunities to test the cards on each of the bridges to see if they could make it from one table to the next. Students were then given the opportunity to reflect on what worked well and what they could improve upon for next time.  We are wrapping up our travel guid

Hello Families,  This week Ms. Mia continued to teach us some important things about grammar, including some spelling rules and homonyms and homophones. We read a book "Stacy's Extraordinary Words" where it talked about at spelling bee. As we learn about waste in our world, sustainability and graphing, Rooms 2 and 3 will be collecting all dry/not working writing instruments from all classrooms at LBS. Take a look at our news article on the school website. Link:  Room 2 and 3 Caring for Our Place We had come fun with our Buddies, we finished up our Pysanky Eggs that we started last week.

Hello Families, Last week, we had an exciting week of new things!  We started our gymnastics unit for physical education and have been learning different types of movements to support strength and balance.  In Math, we have started working with Division using our multiplication facts, repeated addition and subtraction, and model grouping.  In Science, we spent the week exploring different building materials, the properties of building materials and applying strength, durability, and flexibility in building structures. We participated in a STEM challenge to see who could build the tallest structure using either plastic or wood, that would support a small load for approx. 5 mins duration.  .  In ELAL, we have been working on good copies of our Travel Guides. They are fantastic!  Friendly Reminders:    May 8th - 16th - Netball  in school experience more info to come  Wednesday May 10 - Ann & Sandy Cross Field Trip more info to come  Monday, May 22 - Victoria Day - No School  Monday, M
