Happy Thursday Jan 28, 2021

Reminders:

No school tomorrow!

Reading...Give it a Shot 

BHS has enrolled in the Calgary Flames reading program.  Students will be bringing home tracking sheets to monitor how much they read each day.  Can you please sign the spot needed if they are reading at home?  

When your child reads 30 minutes they will earn one reading card. I have sent home a green folder with the sheet to track your minutes! Once they collect all 24, they can move onto the bonus card collection of Harvey the Hound doing funny things! The reading competition started Monday, January 18^th and ends March 26^th. Teachers will be tracking totals in order to hopefully win a virtual visit from the Calgary Flames. The more they read… the more chance we have of the Calgary Flames visiting our school virtually!   

Thank you for your support and work with encouraging your child to read!  

Go Flames Go! 

A note from Mr Sadowsky, 

 On Monday we will begin jump rope for heart which will run for the entire month of February. Students will be doing skipping and hula hooping in phys ed when they are with their classroom teacher to promote this. (They will be doing lacrosse when with Mr. Sadowsky) If they choose to fundraise this year, all donations will be made online. Due to COVID we can't accept cash or cheques. A parent letter will be coming home today or Monday which explains how they register online so they can collect donations through their account. We will collect donations from Feb 1st to Feb 28th. All prizes for collecting donations this year will be gift cards due to COVID and a list of prizes can be found on the website when they register. Anyone who raises a minimum of $20.00 will also be added to a draw for a bonus prize through our school. We have about 13 prizes to give away which include soccer balls, basketballs, skipping ropes and 1 mini hockey set which includes a mini net, 2 mini sticks and a mini ball.

Thank you in advance for all of your support to help a great cause. If you have any questions please contact Mr. Sadowsky. grsadowsky@cbe.ab.ca

Today in room 5:

After some catch up, free write and read to self time the students headed off to gym with Mr Sadowsky.

When we finished up gym and snack I had the students create their monthly picture prompt writing. 

This was today's picture prompt:

We brainstormed words that related to what we could see or possibly hear, touch and feel. Students came up with ideas on how they could come up with a story for the picture. Some of the ideas included robots going on an adventure, coming to life, breaking down, hiding from garbage trucks and much more.

Students then began writing and drawing a story or observations based off the picture.

After an indoor recess we had time on the ipads completing mathletics assignments! Try and finish some assignments at home if you can :) Email me if you need your child's log in.

After literacy centers in the afternoon we moved into an art project. 

The art today focused on creating the northern lights over a snowy field or hill. 

Below was the inspiration for our art!

We used black paper, chalk pastels, oil pastels and lots of patience to complete the art project today.

We finished our day by cleaning up and saying our goodbyes!

Have a great long weekend everyone!

Stay safe and warm :)
