Today most of us finished our All About Me Poem on the computer. It went much smoother logging on and finding the right file. Students also had the chance to practice developing their keyboarding skills when they were finished their work. They visited the site www.typingclub.com.
In the gym we played yet another new game! Secret Agent Tag had students pretending to be in a village. Students went to "sleep" and their hand was touched if they were a secret agent. A doctor had to save the people the agents tagged. It was awesome! We continue to develop our number sense in math. Please continue to practice basic addition and subtraction at home with your child. We will be beginning to use this skill as we learn about word problems. Mrs. Otterson began a new book in Read Aloud. The Secret Garden is a story that takes place in 1910 and is a story about a little girl that is orphaned by her parents and is very selfish and spoiled. It is very intriguing. Most of us are finished our visual journal cover so there is no longer a need to send in magazines or flyers. Thank you to all that were able to help contribute to this art project. Social studies had us brainstorming all the things we thought we knew about Alberta. Your challenge is to find one interesting fact about Alberta and to make a comment on the blog. In science we read the picture book "Living Sunlight" by Molly Bang and Penny Chishom. This book explores concepts like photosynthesis and how plants are responsible for all life on earth. Tomorrow we will begin our experiment where we will plant beans to see what things plants need to survive. Important Dates: September 22 - School Council Meeting September 23 - PD Day (No School) September 29 - Terry Fox Run

Alberta is home to the Columbia Icefield located in Jasper. The elevation of the Icefield is 3000m. The world's tallest building the Burj Khalifa in Dubai is only 828m.
