This week is Multicultural week, which ties nicely into our Social Studies class. Last week we researched different games children play in other countries. We have also been comparing and contrasting between our community and others.

The students are near the end of the Nutritional unit. We have been learning about the Food Guide, why we need different foods, what food does for our body, as well as myths about healthy eating.

The class is in the middle of a large project where the students are expected to research a given area of Saskatchewan and then present their information as if they settlers on an expedition. Each student has been given a detailed rubric explaining what is expected of them.

A test on Values will be given on Wednesday November 24th. The test will be based on the Values reviews given over the past few classes.

Preperations for our winter trip have been underway. We are learning how to cook in survival situations as well as to ensure proper nutritional needs are met while in the out of doors. Our trip will be a one day, one night trip in January. Forms will be given to parents informing them of all the details.

Although we have completed the Sending and Recieving unit we will be revisiting these skills throughout the year. Our next unit, Rhythmics has begun and I am expecting great things from the class.

We are finally at the end of our unit on Integers. Therefore, a test will be given on Thursday of this week. If anyone wants extra help reviewing please see Ms. Palmer to book a time.

Month End Update

Well, it is hard to believe that we are already into our second month of school! Both the students and myself have been very busy with a number of lessons and activities.
Listed below is a brief summary of what we have been up to:

Grade 2/3 - We are just wrapping up our unit on animals. We have been learning about Food Chains, Animal Groups, and Life Cycles. Mrs. Werle and I are presently working together on an ABC Animal/Habitat book. The students and I look forward to showing all the parents the ABC book at our open house on the 21st of October.
In Health we are learning all about germs and what they do to our body.

PAA 7/8
After learning some of the kitchen basics and safety we are ready to begin cooking. We will start with Energy bars that we can take to sporting events and outdoor adventures before starting a mini-unit on firebuilding. From now on many of our lessons will take place in the outdoor classroom so please remember to bring warm clothes on PAA days!

Math 8
We are almost done our first unit on whole numbers. Therefore we will be writing a test on Friday October 8th. We will be reviewing all week.

ELA 8/9
After a short review unit on grammar we have moved on to a unit titled Conflicts, Challenges, Issues, and Choices - Doing the Right Thing. The students are presently completing a project on racism and will be moving on to a research paper by the end of the week.

7/8 PE
We are presently in the middle of a Sending & Receiving unit involving sports such as Soccer, Football, Baseball, and soon we will be doing Volleyball.

Health 6
As a culminating project of the "This is Me" unit each of the students are working on projects all about themselves. They will receive a mark on the project as well as their presentation. I look forward to learning more about each of them!

4/5 Social
This year our units will all have a Saskatchewan theme imbedded in them. We have already studied map skills and basic orienteering and will be moving on to symbols of our province this week. Each student will choose one of the Saskatchewan Symbols research assignments to complete over the next week and a half.

Senior Girls Volleyball
With two games and a tournament under our belt we are starting to pick up steam. As a young team with strong leaders, I am optimistic about our future. If you are interested in coming out to watch, all of our games are listed on the google calendar at the bottom of this page.

If you have any questions or concerns PLEASE give me a call or shoot me an email.
Sincerely,
Ms. Palmer
