Stuffie Measurment and Learning about Fish

We learned that we will be getting something very special at Copperfield School. Ask me to tell you about the fish tank in the library. Mrs. Ly will be picking up 65 fish eggs tomorrow at the Bow Habitat Station. Our school has a very special license that allows us to raise rainbow trout. We will be learning all about them and how to take care of them. We will become fish experts!




In math, we are learning about what measurement means. This afternoon, we sketched our stuffies and talked about ways to measure it. We will be measuring and comparing our stuffies this week. I will bring my stuffie home on Friday.






We read a book called "But it's not my fault." by Julia Cook.  We had a class discussion about this phrase and came up with ways to conquer the blame game.

Some of the things we learned were:
- Take responsibility for your actions
- You are in charge of your legs, arms, hands, voice and tongue.
- Don't make an excuse when you do something wrong
- Just own it and say "Yep! I did that! Now what can I do to help fix it?"
- Everybody makes mistakes and mistakes can be a good thing because every time you make one, it gives you a chance to learn something
- If you blame other people for your mistakes, you give away your chances to learn!

Please have a conversation with me about this at home. I can surly use these tips and lessons outside of school too! ;)

Book orders are due this Thursday

What is perseverance?

Here is our first 5 words from our new sight word list! This week's words are: do all under on at This is our poem of the week: This week we are talking all about perseverance. Our poem says "I think I can"! This is a positive mindset that we are trying learn to say to ourselves even when things are hard. We listened to a story called "How to catch a star" which is about a boy who loved stars and wished he could catch his own. We counted that he tried at least 5 different ways to catch a star and did not give up until one of his ways worked! We brained stormed what perseverance is and made a list. Then, we drew pictures of a time that we thought something was hard but had to persevere to accomplish it. We drew before and after pictures of what it looks and feels like to persevere! Some of us drew about learning how to ride a bike, swim, skate, climb monkey bars, and play hockey. REMINDERS: We seem to have a fruit fly problem ...

Curriculum Term Letter

Each grade team has created a Curriculum Term Letter to communicate with families about the learning that their child will be doing from September to December. The term plan specifies curricular outcomes that the grade will be focusing their instruction and assessment around. It is our hope that this letter will begin to provide you with a clear picture of your child’s learning over the year. You can find your child’s Curriculum Term Letter on our school website under Classes & Departments and the Resources on the right hand side of the page.   For further information on the Alberta Program of Studies, please visit the Learn Alberta website: https://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mychildslearning/ Housekeeping: **Tomorrow (Wednesdays) is our library day.
