November 24 - 27

Hello everyone!

Here is what we have been up to this week:

 

We are working on building independence and problem-solving skills in the classroom (repeat from last week's blog. This is very important!). 

To support this, students are expected to come to school ready to learn and willing to try their best. Mrs. Desai expects students to make an effort when they are stuck; handing their work in without reviewing it and sitting and avoiding the task is unexpected behaviour and does not help them move forward as learners. When students need help, it is their job as learners to try strategies such as asking a friend, looking for clues around the classroom, or re-reading the instructions on the Smartboard before seeking teacher support.

Writing -  We wrote paragraphs about our favourite snack. We also tried to persuade Mrs. Desai to do or try something. Today we wrote about what the best celebration is!

Health - This week, we learned about the Zones of Regulation and what the different emotions are. We also created posters about the different zones! 
 





Science - We wrote and drew about contact and non-contact forces. Next week, we are going to do a gravity experiment and play with magnets.
 
 
 
 

 Math - We learned about money, decimals and change. After that, we got to do math on the chromebooks. We did our mini-Show What You Know.

 
 

 

 

We drew and wrote about how we find joy in nature!

Hello 4C Families! A few important reminders for back to school: Please ensure that you check the blog every Friday as this will be the main form of communication regarding student activities during the school day and upcoming events. Please also read through the Northern Lights News every Friday - found on the school website here. Personal Mobile Devices and Social Media Use in Our School - K - 9 students will not be permitted to use personal mobile devices during the school day. Student devices brought to school must be out of sight and either powered off or set to silent. They should be left in backpacks, lockers or areas designated by teachers or better yet - simply left at home. Please complete the Name Jar activity with your child this weekend!

Welcome! We are so excited to be starting the 2024-2025 year with you! This year, our whole school will be using Blogger to make regular agenda posts.  To make it easier for you, you can add the blog right on to the home screen of your phone or iPad by following the directions on the “Adding Blogger to Home Screen” document. We hope this makes the communication between home and school easier and opens up great conversations between you and your child.  The CBE and Mrs. Brinson will be communicating information to you through School Messenger email titled ‘Northern Lights News for ___”. This email will include a link to the Northern Lights School Website so messages can be translated into any language.  To make sure you receive these email messages, please SUBSCRIBE using the email address you gave to the school.   - Ms. Vashi

Hello everyone! Some important reminders (especially the ones in RED !): Please ensure that you check the blog every Friday as this will be the main form of communication regarding student activities during the school day and upcoming events. To support your child’s literacy skills, I encourage you to set aside time each day for reading at home. Sharing stories together or letting your child choose their favourite books can make reading a fun and enjoyable experience. Your involvement plays a crucial role in developing their love for reading and improving their skills. Every two months, I send home a Scholastic book flyer. If you want to purchase books for your child to read at home, please use the code that is written on the flyer. Using my code helps me gain reward points that I can use towards buying books for the classroom library. You can also obtain a library card and check out books for your child free of cost. Happy reading! To help support your child's numeracy skills, pra...
