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! To earn these new cards students must read for 60 minutes. The reading competition started Monday, January 18th and ends March 26th. 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!
Today in room 5:
Yesterday we read a book called The Invisible String. This wonderful book helps us to think of our loved ones and how we are always connected. The "Invisible String" is the love that never goes away and always us to keep our loved ones near, despite being in different places. Even loved ones who passed away are still connected to us by our love strings. We are in the process of making an art craft to show the ones we love that we are all connected!
Today we got to work on creating our invisible string hearts.
After literacy centers we moved into the writing component of the project. The sentence starter students could use was "Love is an invisible string that connects me to my____"
Students added their loved ones to the end of the sentence which was glued to the back of the decorated hearts we made from the day before. We used construction paper and sticker paper to create patterns on our string hearts. The final step involved gluing small strings to the hearts to symbolize their family members and loved ones. These strings are attached to invisible strings which connect to the students and the people they love hearts.
It was a busy project with many steps. But we worked hard over the day and finished everything before sending them home :)
Hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend!
See you Tuesday!
Mr Lancee
