Good evening families,
It was a busy week in Room 5 with students' last two swimming lessons, our Heritage Park field trip today, and all the work being completed in the classroom.
Students brought home their swim report cards today.
At Heritage Park, our class participated in a multisensory program entitled “Simple Machines and Assembly Line”and “One Room School House”. We began our day by exploring how assembly lines revolutionized car manufacturing and the simple machines that operate within the vehicle industry. We then spent the afternoon living as students in the early 1900s in the One Room School House. We learned what daily and school life was like for kids in the past. Please ask your child for more details!
We have been continuing our learning from the Newcomers MuseoKit from the Glenbow Museum. Students have been looking closely as archeologists to tell the story of several artifacts as they determine the function of the artifacts, how the artifacts were made, how the artifacts might have been used, and what the artifacts tell us about the people who used them. The Grade 3 /4 students and teachers would like to thank School Council for generously providing funds (raised from previous School Council Fundraising Campaigns) to be able to rent the Newcomers Glenbow Museum Museokit.
In connection to our inquiry "Building Community", Grade 4 students have also been looking at historical Immigration Posters, which were used to advertise life in Canada and promote immigration and settlement.
A few students have brought their headphones to school and are using them to listen to digital books, oral media or text to speech when on the computer. If your child has a pair of headphones at home that isn't being used could you kindly remind them to bring them into class.
Take care,
Mrs. Morden
