| Literacy Studio with Ms. Kolish |
This past week, students were introduced to what a memoir is and learned more about tools for self-regulation. They made ornaments for the school's Christmas tree and took part in our Western Wear Spirit Day. The class learned about Saskatchewan athletes by participating in a webinar and learned more about Saskatchewan meat-eating and plant-eating animals through a special presentation. It was a very special and memorable week of learning in Grade Four!
Weekly Highlights:
Students~
- learned more about how sleep or lack of sleep can impact the function of the brain.
- continued working on subtracting 3-digit numbers with regrouping. Math test happening soon!
- had their first two Literacy Studio classes with Ms. Erin Kolish. They learned what a memoir is and are currently in the planning stages of writing a memoir from the perspective of an animal they researched.
- learned about the Zones of Regulation with Mrs. Karen Pedscalny. They worked on recognizing each zone and selected a few simple tools they could use when feeling dysregulated.
- started learning about Metis Communities and the Fur Trade in Social Studies. We will continue with this topic in upcoming lessons.
- read and responded to a biography about Dr. Seuss by listing important events that occurred in his life. They made a Christmas tree ornament inspired by one of the characters in Dr. Seuss' book titled The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
- participated in a live webinar by the Canadian Sports Centre featuring Saskatchewan athletes. Students were asked to answer questions and to keep notes as they listened to the athletes being interviewed.
- enjoyed learning about meat-eating and plant-eating animals through an in-person presentation by the RPS outdoor education program. The grade fours particularly enjoyed learning how to age a deer with some help from our presenter, Fred!
