From the Teachers Desk March 1 - 5th


1. LA --  This week we will be looking at how to storey board and starting our own clay animation cartoons.  Students will be creating a short cartoon and then writing a narrative story to support it. We will be looking at the history of clay animation and studying 2 videos. This project is quite extensive and will hopefully be completed before easter. Please bring in a shoe box that we could use as a set.
2. Math --  We have finished perimeter and now moving on to area.  Please continue to bring in cereal boxes!  Thanks so much!
3. Social --  Chapter 3 is almost finished.  A study sheet for Friday's quiz will be going home on Wed.

4. Art -  We will be starting wire sculpture.  Students are asked to bring in a pair of wire cutters or needle nose pliers to help shape and cut their wire.

Reminders:

1.  Grade 5 skating -  Tuesday.  We will be skating from 2:00pm until 3:15.

2. Next Tuesday (March 9th) we will be going to GS Lakie to watch Seussical the Musical.  Students will need to have a bagged lunch as we will be eating at the school at 11am.  We will then be leaving the school at about 11:25 to walk to Lakie.  The show starts at 12:20 and runs about 90min.  Students then will be walking back to N.S. after the show.  Please ensure that your child is dressed for the weather, has a lunch and knows about proper theater/audience behaviour.

3. Chocolates when home for our fundraiser!  Sell, Sell, Sell!  We want to be the class for the pizza party!! This fundraiser will help with our trip to Calgary at the end of the year!
4. Next Monday March 8th there will be a Beethoven presentation for my music classes in the gym from 1-2pm.  We have a group from Calgary coming to play for us.




Have a good week,
