Week of April 27-May 1

Spring has sprung! Wow, it's just beautiful out there and the kids are taking advantage of the sun with lots of walking and running for the Km Club.

We will be re-testing for the poem we learned last week "And my heart soars" - judging by today's results I think the sunshine distracted most of the students from studying for the test! We will re-do the test tomorrow. Children who scored well will not be asked to re-write.

Here are the list words for next Tuesday's spelling test. They are taken from our geography unit on Land and Water Forms:

mountain
hill
foothill
glacier
iceberg
volcano
lava

Thanks, enjoy the sun! (but don't forget to study...)

Update for Week April 20-24

Hi all,
As you've perhaps heard by now - we are located in our portable. The move went smoothly and today as the children joined their family teams for some fun and athletic activities the room was put into shape. It even looks like a classroom already!

Apologies for not having posted the spelling list last week. Here are the words, there will be a test tomorrow.

Whole Class: pantry - windy - thorny - sleepy - hefty- plenty - crunchy - misty - bossy - empty

Challenge Words: camera - properly - deserving - interrupt - anger - hunger - interesting - perfect - whenever - reminder

Also, I will post the spelling Poem for this week. There will be a cloze poetry test on next Tuesday, April 28.

And my heart soars
The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea,
speaks to me.

The faintness of the stars,
the freshness of the morning,
the dew drop on the flower,
speaks to me.

The strength of fire,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun,
And the life that never goes away,
They speak to me.

And my heart soars.

by Chief Dan George

Week of April 6-10

What a busy week we will have! The classroom is being readied for our move. We are packing all of our materials away - some will come with us to our temporary new home out in Portable #1, and much will be put into storage until the earthquake updates are complete. The classroom is beginning to look quite bare - but we will make our new space a beautiful classroom once we are settled in.
If there are any parents who would be able to lend a hand on Monday, April 20th I would surely appreciate the help unpacking boxes and setting up the materials. There will be a lot to do in the new room!
You can email me at the school: kjohnson@sd38.bc.ca if you can help out.

There are no spelling words this week as it is, once again, Dictionary Week.

Happy Easter everyone!
