-Please return the traditions notice with the questions filled in and shared together with your child. This along with the artifact can be returned for Monday. We will keep the artifact in a safe place while we have it here at school.
- Soft Entry will now continue daily at 8:30. The doors will open at 8:30 and kids may come inside as they get to school. There will be supervision inside at this time but no longer outside at 8:30.
Learning Highlights
We have started our soft entry a little earlier since the weather has become colder.
This week we have been talking about traditions. We have learned that many families, communities and countries have traditions. Traditions usually happen around some type of celebration. We have shared about family traditions, Dr. Coffin traditions and some traditions we have here in Canada. Mrs. Hamby shared about her German Advent tradition and Mrs. Yoon shared about her Korean New Year traditions. Today we worked in small groups of three. In our group we had to write down as many traditions or celebrations that we could think of. Tomorrow we will be sharing them and adding more to it.
In math we have been working on building our 3D nets. We have to make at least 6 shapes. Once we have four shapes colored with a pattern and put together we are allowed to begin to glue them on to a piece of cover paper. The cover paper represents the piece of land that we are designing with our shapes. After our shapes are put on, we can decorate it to show what the purpose of the space is. Some of us are making parks, campgrounds, downtown Calgary and neighborhoods. Once that is complete we have to choose 5 of our shapes and we have to fill out a chart to show that we have become shape experts. We have to tell how many faces, edge, vertices as well as the name of each shape. We are very excited about this and some of us are working on them in centers and choice times.
In science this week we have been talking and learning about tints and shades. Our painting shows how we used white and black to create tints and shades of one color that we chose.

| Our PJ Day was so much fun. We even got to have a fifteen minute NAP quiet time, that stands for not a pencil. |
