Daily Update & Homework

September 5, 2025: This morning after prayers, we learned about the narrative arc and we discussed the introduction (exposition), climax, and conclusion (resolution) of a story. Afterward, we discussed why we study history and we started our new Social Studies unit about Canadian federal elections and the political spectrum. We learned what a political party is and we learned about the priorities of each main party. After running recess, we wrote our math diagnostic to see what we remember from grade four. In the afternoon, we had PE class with Mr. Chan and Bible class with Mrs. Moodley, then Mrs. Wasik took us to Leaf Park to play with our friends at the end of the day! Reminders: "Picture Day" is Tues, Sept 9.

September 4, 2025: We prayed to begin our day and thanked God for our class. We met our Bible teacher, Mrs. Moodley, then we played tag games with our PE teacher, Mr. Chan. After recess, we worked in small groups to solve a collaborative math activity and we discussed what works well when working as a team. Mrs. Wasik read us a story titled, "You are Special," by Christian author Max Lucado. It reminded us about the importance of placing our value and identity in God, and not in the opinion of others. After lunch, we met our music teacher, Mr. Wiens, and our French teacher, Mme Lew. Reminders: Please return the completed parent survey, "Picture Day" is Tues, Sept 9.

September 3, 2025: We checked our planners this morning, then we played a fun game of "Mrs. Wasik Says" before our summer highlight sharing circle. We organized our school supplies and labeled our binders, then we wrote our summer highlights journal. In the afternoon, we opened our new art supplies and created personal name tags for our desks. Reminders: Please return the completed parent survey and donate a box of tissues to our class, if possible. Thank you!

It's going to be a fantastic year! Reminders: Please return the completed parent survey and bring your school supplies tomorrow for our first full day of classes.
