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 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! 

Today in room 5:

We began our day with a chance to read to self and finish working on our "Tuurngait" story from the previous day. We did some fill in the blanks related to looking at the story as a folktale and noticing comparisons to Iqaluit.

The video can be found here: Tuurngait

After our morning meeting and snack we worked on our monthly writing sample!

The picture we used today was:

We had been learning about characters all week and students worked to come up with a story or what they saw in the picture. Some have to finish tomorrow morning!

After recess on the playground we came inside to do math centers. 

Today's math centers were:  Mathletics, subtraction war, dinosaur subtraction, and shape net building.

In the afternoon we had a short read to someone block before heading off to our last day of handball. 

Today I took the students on a virtual tour of the schools mechanical room. I went into the room yesterday and took pictures and videos of the boilers, water coolers, air vents. Students then enjoyed seeing the inner workings of the school and learning how we heat and cool the building.

Have a great night everyone!
