Students just finished learning about the Grassland Region of Alberta and it's natural resources. On this day, they went searching in the halls for posters of natural resources and the services they provide. They then had to mark the areas on a map of Alberta that they are plentiful.
Worksheets can be so boring...so we try and mix them up. Scavenger Hunt style! Students just finished learning about the Grassland Region of Alberta and it's natural resources.

Expanding our vocabulary, we moved into a mini lesson on character traits. We discussed the character traits of each of the book's main characters, evident in the book. We used thesaurus' and also hunted in children's literature for new words. This poster was created by the students as a space to search for vocab when writing their own pieces.
I challenged students to follow the information on a few infographics. They all had to do with waste; computer waste, the affect waste has on animals, waste increases in the past 100 years, etc. Look how into it they were, everything beats a textbook!
We were able to acquire tennis ball covers for our chair legs. These gadgets are awesome becuase they cut down on so much noise. Noise the chairs make when kids are fidgety or moving in and out of them.
Thank you to all parents! Thank you for helping your child get ready for Halloween. A special thank you to the Leggett, Krawchuk, Massie, Tondu, McAfee, Bergerud, Corkum and Hill families for pumpkins, carving tools, carving help and treats! Thank you as well to Ms. Mitchell for letting students read their scary stories to her students!
